    Move Sys.AUD$ in Oracle11g

    posted 13 Jan 2009 02:42 by Alan Nolan-Davies   [ updated 22 Jul 2011 07:36 ]

    It’s recommended to create a new Tablespace for holding the Audit generated logs in the table SYS.AUD$  rather than leave it in the SYSTEM tablespace

     

    However when Oracle can no longer write to the SYS.AUD$ it will refuse any further logins to the database, so space checking is important (as usual)

     

    I created the tablespace AUDIT_DATA in the new Oracle11g Database PHKE

     

    Then I used DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT to move the SYS.AUD$ table

     

    SQL> begin
      2  DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION(
      3  audit_trail_type => DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.AUDIT_TRAIL_DB_STD,
      4  audit_trail_location_value => 'AUDIT_DATA');
      5  end;
      6  /


    DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT

    posted 31 Dec 2008 01:01 by Alan Nolan-Davies   [ updated 22 Jul 2011 07:32 ]

    Oracle recommend using the DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT package to move the sys.aud$ table from the System Tablespace to another.

    I created a new Tablespace called AUDIT_DATA and then ran this procedure.

    SQL> begin
      2  DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_LOCATION(
      3  audit_trail_type => DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.AUDIT_TRAIL_DB_STD,
      4  audit_trail_location_value => 'AUDIT_DATA');
      5  end;
      6  /

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    it's simple and it works... nice
