Aldi - My advice is to use Logminer on your production database. I am assuming that your DEV database is a copy or clone of your production database. However, Logminer won't have the correct file names, for example. You will have to go back to production, find the file you want, find the file_id, convert that file_id to hex, then enter that into Logminer. Even if your DEV is a clone of production. The data values will also be in hex. It can be done, but it is probably much more useful to simply build the Logminer dictionary on production.

Hi Listers,
I copied the archived logfiles from production database (PROD) and trying to start logminer in development (DEV) database (same platform but different SID).

execute dbms_logmnr.start_logmnr(dictfilename => '/u01/prodlog.ora');

I got the ora 01295 error.

Can we analyze logfiles (start logminer) from the different SID ? Oracle 8161 on LInux.

Tia,
Aldi

01295, 00000, "DB_ID mismatch between dictionary %s and logfiles" // *Cause: The dictionary file is produced by a database that is different
// from that produced the logfiles. // *Action: Specify a compatible dictionary file.
