Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How keep only one copy .dmp?
Greetings,
I suspect, although it is only a suspicion, that the time stamp on the file must be > 24:00:00 hours prior to the time you run the find. For example, you run the find at 22:00 then start your export. The export finishes at 22:30. Then the next day you run your find at 22:00. The previous days dump file has a time stamp of 22:30, not yet 24 hours old so it isn't deleted then you get today's dump file thus 2 files. I think.

Subject: How keep only one copy .dmp?
How can I set my script to only keep one copy of a dump file? On Linux, I have the following line in the script (which is run nightly by cron). Yet I always seem to end up with 2 days worth of dmp files which are using up too much space. I only want for there to be one copy that stays on the server.
find $DMPDIR -name "*" -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;
Rest of script that follows that line:
DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
gzip < $EXPPIPE > $DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full.dmp.${DT}.gz &
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp system/$exppass full=y file=$EXPPIPE log=$DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log consistent=y compress=y
#Check log for errors below
cd $DMPDIR
grep -c "EXP-" ${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log > /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo "failed export" | mail -s "export of $ORACLE_SID FAILED CHECK LOG FOR
DETAILS" `cat $MAIL/dba`
exit 1
fi
exit
