Thanks rjamya. That worked. for some of where seg_name = 'EPML' I am still getting some sql_redo as : Unsupported For others I am seeing the sql statements like 'update EPML....'

With DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG option since UTL_FILE is not set for flat file option. After start_logmnr what happens is it works for select sql_redo from V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS where rownum < 3 which returns 'commit', 'set transaction..' but if I give where rownum < 10 it just kicks out the session. Same if I use where seg_name = 'EPML'. Is there any setting I need to do. I only added one logfile. I think it is erroring when it has to convert to actual table/column names using the dictionary. Thanks for help. I am doing : EXECUTE sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR (- DICTFILENAME =>sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG) or EXECUTE sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR (- DICTFILENAME =>sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG, - options => sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.new) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
