Log Miner : Date_Timestamp_logminer

LOGMINER - Based on Date and time generation

Scenario Preview:

We have archive log of particular date, with the help of  logminer we can extract the value based on date and time.

In general we can extract object value based on archive log | Timestamp date |  SCN Number

Operating System: OEL 7.7 64 bit

Database Version : 12.2.0.1 

Database : SMRUPGR12QA

Schema : infodba

Log Miner table : PFND0GENERALAUDIT

Check UTL_FILE_DIR location below.

SQL> sho parameter utl_file_dir

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

utl_file_dir                         string

• We need to take bounce of  database as parameter value is not set as dyanamics to set UTL_FILE_DIR  location.

SQL> alter system set utl_file_dir='/u04/db_backup/expdp/SMRUPGR12QA/logminer' scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;

Database closed.

Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup

Create directory for storing logminer file location 

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY LOG_DIR AS '/u04/db_backup/expdp/SMRUPGR12QA/logminer';

Directory created.

Optional if we wants to exract from particular users

SQL> GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY LOG_DIR TO infodba;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> select SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_MIN from v$database;

SUPPLEME

NO

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA;

Database altered.
