Trying retrieving +DATA/src/onlinelog/group_1.276.748600819 from ASM.

If this fails, restart with NOASM added to the SUPPORT command.


Packaging data from database. If this fails, restart SUPPORT PACKAGE with NODB option.


====> If instructed by support, run as SYSDBA the script get_logtrace.jTZ4.sql

and upload the generated tracefile (script will show the name) to Dbvisit Support as well.

 

The created file includes the process name and a unique identifier, so multiple runs of the packaging command won't overwrite past zip files.

The command can take further arguments, forcing it to skip some files – use it only if packaging otherwise fails.

Creating support package from command console

The support package command can also be run from the Command Console:

For MINE, ensure the command console is run from the MINE server so that the MINE logs and PLOGs can be found:

dbvrep> support package MINE
Packaging into ZIP file: ./dbvisit_support_dbvrep_d112f_mine.PNR_.zip for process mine, addinfo []
Packaging data from database. If this fails, restart SUPPORT PACKAGE with NODB option.
====> If instructed by support, run as SYSDBA the script get_logtrace.jsKz.sql and upload the generated tracefile (script will show the name) to Dbvisit Support as well.
Note

Use the --nocheckdb option for creating a support package if creating the support package fails to connect to either the Mine or Apply database

No Format
dbvrep> support package MINE --nocheckdb

 

For APPLY, ensure the command console is run from the APPLY server so that the APPLY logs and PLOGs can be found:
