FRA full what to check

1. Consider reviewing resumable_timeout setting so processes don’t fail, but rather hang providing a grace period to clean up issue OR extend space allocated, default is 0 so disabled.

2. check when redo generation occurred

3. Review usage of FRA, Oracle manages this set lines 220 select * from V$FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE

3. The FRA parameters are dynamic and can be change online with immediate effect

  • db_recovery_file_dest, potentially change this to a different drive short term
  • db_recovery_file_dest_size, increase as needed if space is available

4. Potentially backup files which will make them eligible for space reclaim

5. review tables with top DML

col table_owner for a32
col table_name for a80
set lines 220
select to_char(timestamp,’DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS’) timestamp, table_owner, table_name, inserts, updates, deletes, inserts+updates+deletes total_dml from DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS
