Hi,

More number of archivelog files are generating in the database.
due to SAP Application client deletion job(it deletes 29000 tables) the undo_retention value is set to 216000(60 hours).

Recently I added 6 redo log group to the database(Totally 10 redolog groups).

Kindly suggest me.

If i reduce the undo_retention will it improve the performance.

Is there any way to reduce archive log generation?

padhu.

Use truncate.

You will be calling for more issues related to undo .
UNDO_RETENTION is supposed to be set to the longest running transaction time.
>>Is there any way to reduce archive log generation?
There are.
But, it will not help with recovery and I suppose you are not allowed to change the SAP DML behavior.
If it is not a selective delete, can you truncate instead of delete?
Is this a recurring operation or one time job?

>>improve the performance
Are you sure that archived log generation is causing the performance drop?
Had you configured your database properly, archived log issues
should be minimal.
Make sure archived logs are in a different set of disks/spindles.
Create larger redolog files.

Hi,

Currently there are 10 redolog group with members 100mb size each.

It is running from SAP, i couldnot see the script which is running. they are using delete command only not the truncate.

Increase the redo log size. may be to 300MB and check.

And if you have more transactions , u will have more redo ... and so on more archive will be generated. dont woory abt that. This is not a problem of generating more redo.As you cannot use truncate so go with it..

Check the filesystems of your redo/archive files. are you using raid 5 for this??

Why? And why 300M? Are you shooting in the dark? Or is there any rationale behind that?

And DON'T use IM speak.

Yes, my intention was to delay the log switch and archiving process a bit, as it is going for more archive ..i hope justification is exceotable.

and wht is this IM , wht i am not suppose to use

IM is Instant Messaging: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging, also called SMS (Short Message Service) speak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS.

"u", "abt", "wht"... are IM. Use whole words, this is not a social forum.

Michel
