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(*)

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)

Mircoles 18:27 Mircoles 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:

[oracle@dbcomputer SQL]$ sqlplus BD25_SOAINFRA/welcome1
