APPLIES TO:

Oracle SOA Suite - Version 11.1.1.1.0 to 12.2.1.0.0 [Release 11gR1 to 12c]

Information in this document applies to any platform.

GOAL

Show how to run the purge scripts step by step.

Show also how to monitoring the current purge script execution.

Also include queries to get information before and after running the purge scripts.

SOLUTION

This note show how to run the purge script step by step and other tips to do
understand the purge scripts execution.

 This is the first query executed by the purge scripts to know the ecid feasible to
be delete.

select unique(ecid) from composite_instance where (

bitand(state,127)=1 or

bitand(state,16)=16 or

bitand(state,64)=64 or state between 32 and 63 or

state = 3 or state =19)

and created_time >= to_timestamp('2012-12-01','YYYY-MM-DD')

and created_time <= to_timestamp('2012-12-31','YYYY-MM-DD')

and ecid not in (select ecid from prune_running_insts );

As example you will got something like the following output:

ECID

 and also this query executed give 0 records:

select ecid from prune_running_insts;

with that we can assume that doesn't exists running instances.

 C. To know the potential rows to be deleted on the cube instance we execute the following:
select to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state, count(*) from
BD25_SOAINFRA.cube_instance where state >= 5 group by
to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state;

TO_CHAR(CREATION_DATE,'MM-YYYY') STATE COUNT(*)

On the month of March exists 224372 potential to be dropped. If we execute the purge scripts for that month in particular

 We will execute the purge scExecuting the purge scripts for that period in
particular. But before that, let's elaborate this file with the following:

[oracle@dbcomputer SQL]$ cat purgescript-month.sql

ALTER PROCEDURE debug_purge COMPILE PLSQL_CCFLAGS = 'debug_on:TRUE' REUSE SETTINGS;

ALTER PROCEDURE log_info COMPILE PLSQL_CCFLAGS = 'debug_on:TRUE' REUSE SETTINGS;

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;

spool '/home/oracle/PurgeLogs/spool.log';

select to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state, count(*) from BD25_SOAINFRA.cube_instance where state >= 5
group by to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state order by 1;

DECLARE

MAX_CREATION_DATE timestamp;
MIN_CREATION_DATE timestamp;
batch_size integer;
max_runtime integer;
retention_period timestamp;
BEGIN

MIN_CREATION_DATE := to_timestamp('2013-03-01','YYYY-MM-DD');
MAX_CREATION_DATE := to_timestamp('2013-03-31','YYYY-MM-DD');
max_runtime := 60;
retention_period := to_timestamp('2013-05-01','YYYY-MM-DD');
batch_size := 10000;
soa.delete_instances(
min_creation_date => MIN_CREATION_DATE,
max_creation_date => MAX_CREATION_DATE,
batch_size => batch_size,
max_runtime => max_runtime,
retention_period => retention_period,
purge_partitioned_component => false);
END;

select to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state, count(*) from BD25_SOAINFRA.cube_instance where state >= 5
group by to_char(CREATION_DATE, 'MM-YYYY'), state order by 1;

spool off;

ALTER PROCEDURE debug_purge COMPILE PLSQL_CCFLAGS = 'debug_on:false' REUSE SETTINGS;

ALTER PROCEDURE log_info COMPILE PLSQL_CCFLAGS = 'debug_on:false' REUSE SETTINGS;

 Create also the following file: sqlview.sql

column status format a10

set feedback off

set serveroutput on

select username, sid, serial#, process, status from v$session

where username is not null

column username format a20

column sql_text format a55 word_wrapped

set serveroutput on size 1000000

declare

x number;

begin
for x in

( select username||'('||sid||','||serial#||') ospid = ' || process ||' program = ' || program

username, to_char(LOGON_TIME,' Day HH24:MI') logon_time, to_char(sysdate,' Day HH24:MI')
current_time, sql_address, LAST_CALL_ET

from v$session where status = 'ACTIVE' and rawtohex(sql_address) <> '00' and username is not null
order by last_call_et )

loop

for y in ( select max(decode(piece,0,sql_text,null)) || max(decode(piece,1,sql_text,null)) ||

max(decode(piece,2,sql_text,null)) || max(decode(piece,3,sql_text,null)) sql_text from
v$sqltext_with_newlines where address = x.sql_address and piece < 4)

loop

if ( y.sql_text not like '%listener.get_cmd%' and y.sql_text not like '%RAWTOHEX(SQL_ADDRESS)%')

then

dbms_output.put_line( '--------------------' );
dbms_output.put_line( x.username );
dbms_output.put_line( x.logon_time || ' ' || x.current_time|| ' last et = ' || x.LAST_CALL_ET);
dbms_output.put_line(substr( y.sql_text, 1, 250 ) );

end if;

end loop;
end loop;

end;

column username format a15 word_wrapped

column module format a15 word_wrapped
column action format a15 word_wrapped
column client_info format a30 word_wrapped

select username||'('||sid||','||serial#||')' username, module, action, client_info from v$session

where module||action||client_info is not null;

quit;

 Executing the previous script you will be able to inspect what is doing the purge scripts as example I got the following output
when I waiting for ending the purge scripts.

BD25_SOAINFRA(148,53) ospid = 13945 program = sqlplus@dbcomputer.localdomain (TNS V1-V3)

Miércoles 18:27 Miércoles 18:33 last et = 347

DELETE FROM HEADERS_PROPERTIES WHERE MESSAGE_GUID IN (SELECT MESSAGE_GUID FROM
TEMP_DOCUMENT_DLV_MSG_REF)

 And Finally this is the way to run the purge scripts:
