Introduction: –
In this post we will learn Purge obsolete logs in oracle EBS r12. Purging is regular activity to clear old logs from log location. We can improve performance our database and apps to clear obsolete logs which is not required.
Following command will help you in regular activity to Purge obsolete logs in oracle EBS r12 the log file.
1. Report cache/Apache logs: Retention period 5days
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.2/reports/cache/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {};
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/Apache -mtime +15 -exec rm {};
2. Apache logs: Retention period 7days
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/Apache/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {};
3. Concurrent manager log files : Retention period 30days
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/appl/conc/log/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
4. Concurrent manager out files : Retention period 30days
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/appl/conc/out/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
5. Appltmp logs: Retention period 30days
/usr/bin/find $APPLTMP/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
6. Opmn logs: Retention period 7days
/usr/bin/find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn/ -mtime +7 -exec rm {} ;
find /oracle/PROD/inst/apps/PROD_appsprod/logs/ora/10.1.2/reports/cache -mtime +30 -exec rm {};
To automate the purging activity via crontab use the below scripts: –
Script file: – purgingactivity.sh
#!/bin/bash
. /oracle/PROD/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSPROD_appsprod.env
#Report cache logs: Retention period 30 days
find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.2/reports/cache/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
#Apache logs: Retention period 30 days
find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/Apache/ -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;
#Concurrent manager log files : Retention period 7days
find $LOG_HOME/appl/conc/log/ -mtime +7 -exec rm {} ;
#Concurrent manager out files : Retention period 7days
find $LOG_HOME/appl/conc/out/ -mtime +7 -exec rm {} ;
#Appltmp logs: Retention period 30days
find $APPLTMP/ -mtime +15 -exec rm {} ;
#Opmn logs: Retention period 7days
find $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn/*log* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} ;

Once purgingactivity.sh will schedule through crontab job, automatically it will purge the all log.
The program “PURGE SIGNON AUDIT DATA” should be scheduled to run within the next 30 days with the following parameter value:

Hi, thanks for the post, i was also reading note 2005894.1 and it says you first has to stop app tier, and you dont do it in your note. Is it safe to delete files without stopping apptier?
regards
Thanks for you valuable comment. We are always purging old logs using -mtime +30 instead of rm -rf * (complete logs including current). In doc mentioned rm -rf * , It means will remove entire logs. So, if you are using rm -rf * . You should shutdown middle Tier and do the purging activity as well.
