ORACLE HOW TO MANIPULATE LISTENER.LOG WITHOUT STOP THE LISTENER

Sometimes, you need manipulate the listener.log because it's too big or your disk device is full and you can't stop the service for your business then this is the solution, stop the generation of  entries into the logfile but the listener continue executing.

this is a script into crontab running each 2 weeks. In this script I stop the inserts into the listener.log, compress the file and start the inserts into a new  listener.log

lsnrctl << EOF
set current_listener LISTENER
set log_status off
exit
EOF
go to place of your listener.log and then, delete, move or compress....
gzip listener.log
lsnrctl << EOF
set current_listener LISTENER
set log_status on
exit
EOF

after this operation you can see in the directory

listener.log.gz -----> old file compressed

listener.log -----> new file generated

HOW TO SOLVE COMPATIBILITY MISTAKES DURING INSTALLATION ORACLE CLIENT 10G IN WINDOWS 7 MACHINE

To solve the compatibility mistake during installation of oracle client 10g in windows 7 machines

1.- you must add the following lines to all ...\stage\...\refhost.xml


  <CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <!--Microsoft Windows 2000-->
      <VERSION VALUE="5.0"/>
      <SERVICE_PACK VALUE="1"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <!--Microsoft Windows XP-->
      <VERSION VALUE="5.1"/>
      <SERVICE_PACK VALUE="1"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <!--Microsoft Windows 2003-->
      <VERSION VALUE="5.2"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <!--Microsoft Windows Vista-->
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
      <VERSION VALUE="6.0"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
    <!--Microsoft Windows 7-->
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
      <VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
  </CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

2.- but we must add 6.1 also in the file install/oraparam.ini

[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1

Then you can install oracle client now without compatibility mistakes
