Hi All,
I was told that set log_checkpoints_to_alert=true in the parameter file would record checkpoint start time & end time.

I have set log_checkpoints_to_alert=true in the init.ora

sql>show parameter log_checkpoints_to_alert;
NAME                       TYPE        VALUE
--------------------- ----------- ------------------------------
log_checkpoints_to_alert  boolean     TRUE

sql>host

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/admin/*/bdump

$>alert_SID.log

$exit

sql>alter system checkpoint;

sql>exit

$cat alert_SID.log

Thu Nov  2 16:13:15 2006
Beginning global checkpoint up to RBA [0x6ff.954d.10], SCN: 0x0000.5ab341b8
Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x6ff.2.10], SCN: 0x0000.5ab31432
Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x6ff.954d.10], SCN: 0x0000.5ab341b8

The above alert_SID.log does not show the start time & end time of the checkpoint.

Do I need to set any other parameters other than this log_checkpoints_to_alert ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mohammad,
Thanks for the update. I could see the difference in both the cases. But the alert log does not show the start time & end time of the checkpoint.

I could see two date/time values in your alert log. I don't think they pertains to checkpoint start time and checkpoint end time.

ALTER SYSTEM SET log_checkpoints_to_alert=TRUE SCOPE=BOTH;
[B]Thu Nov 02 17:04:52 2006[/B]
Beginning global checkpoint up to RBA [0x2b.259.10], SCN: 1807832
Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x2b.259.10], SCN: 1807832

Above first time indicate :"alter system set log_check...setting":

Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x2b.259.10], SCN: 1807832

And above 2nd time is Checkpoint start and end timing.
i am not sure but i am force to oracle for checkpoint that there is not activity on my database. Bcoz of this it will show only one value.

Hope this Helps
Mohammad Taj.

Even if you don't force it shows you only one date/time.
