Hi everybody,

Can anybody tell me WHAT maxlogfile used for? What does its value mean regarding to Control File Trace?

Thank you very much in advance

Liliya
 
Liliya,

MAXLOGFILES if the upper limit of how many groups of on-line redo logfiles your database may have. You can specify this number only when you "CREATE DATABASE..." (or you can re-create the control file, which has its own set of problems).

Mufasa,

Thank you so much!

And I wonder what MAXLOGMEMBERS is used for and what ITS value means?

Thank you once again!

Liliya
 
Liliya,

MAXLOGMEMBERS places an upper limit upon how much "duplexing" you can do within an on-line redo log group. For example if your values are these:

MAXLOGFILES: 3
MAXLOGMEMBER: 5

...and if you have gone to the maximums on your database, then this means Oracle will fill up Group 1, then switch to Group 2, then switch to Group 3, then back again to Group 1. Additionally, within each log group, each group will have 5 identical copies of the same information. Why have so many copies? Just in case there are media problems. It's for people who wear both belts and braces (suspenders in the U.S). [wink]

Did this answer your question, Liliya?
