Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Rename alert log
Does anyone know starting from which version you have to do the tricky thing to rename the alert.log? Or is this only apply to certain OS platforms?
I am on 8.1.7 EE on Solaris8 and I can still just move the alert.log and Oracle will just recreate one when it needs to write the next message.
I don't like this new rule that you have to copy it and then null the alert log since those are two separate operations. I can loss a message or two if there is a lag after the copying is done and before nulling the log file.

depends on the version of the database you are running.. it used to be that
yes, you could just rename it and Oracle would open a new one of the
original name when it needed to write to it.
In 8.? and above, you can no longer just rename it, Oracle now maintains an open file pointer to it, similar to the way it handles the listener log file. So you will need to do the same sort of tricks to the alert log as you have to do to the listener log (make a copy then copy /dev/null to the original)
