Oracle EBS R12 Log Files

[Saad Qaiser Khan]

Hello Erman,

Is there any way I could find the log files older than 7 days from back end. Like I have to post log file for open period of NOV 16. Now as I see in application I am only able to see requests 7 days.

Oracle App Release 12.1.3
Oracle Database Version 11.2.0.4

Please tell me if this is possible.

Thanks and Regards,
Saad Khan

Hi Saad,

I barely understand your problem, but still I will try to help you.
First of all, I think you are talkink about concurrent requests/logs.

so, if they are purged, you can not find them. (it is normal)
check your purging activities ( check the shedule and arguments of purge concurrent request and/or manager data concurrent program)

Also, if you mean OS terminals/shell when you say "background", then you can use Os utilities such as "find" (Linux)
go to the directory where your concurrent request logs or output files are located and use find command.
i.e: find -mtime +8

Important: Please open your issues in the related category. This issue should be in EBS 12.1 category. So I m moving this issue to there, but next time, please open your issue in the related category.

I will be careful next time.

Yes that's what I am trying to ask.

Means the request log file 3 to 4 weeks ago will be accessible from shell?

As I already told you in my previous update;
If the request log and out files are deleted/purged, then you can't access them..(from anywhere -- you need to restore your apps tier backup -- if it is taken and available)

So, check your purging activities ( check the shedule and arguments of purge "concurrent request and/or manager data concurrent program"). If they are purged, then you need to get them from your backups(APPS TIER backups if they are regularly taken ofcourse).
