High number of redo log

Hi all,

Is there any way we can check which user and what job ran that causes high number of redo logs being generated?

Thanks.

Hi,

Also check whether there was any Online Backup scheduled during the time of "High number of redo log", which may lead to high number of redo log files. Else you need to check Transactions / Jobs which ran during that point of time.

Hi Castro,

If you are running on Oracle 10g or further release, you can analyze offline redolog files and identify who and what job is responsible about high number of redolog files, by using Oracle LogMiner.

Hello Orkun,

well you will find the SQL that causes the redo with logminer, but you will not see the module like in V$SESSION (either not the responsible ABAP code). If the high amount of redo is generated by short transactions you will even not find it in the ASH (AWR) samples.

@Castro:

The view V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS is suffcient in your case. You can also join the highest redo changes from V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS with V$SQL or V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY to get a view of the corresponding SQLs and modules.

You can't find out the responsible ABAP code directly, but figure out it by looking to the SQL statements. That's what I mean.

user who perform many create / changes / delete to the database records generate lots of redo log files.

Is there any data upload activity going on? or may be SGEN (generation of ABAP after support pack)

You can check the time when those were created and compare them with the jobs that were running at that time using SM37.
