I'm sure this is unsupported, but in OEM 2.2 something like the following would work: SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000 DECLARE CURSOR c_job IS SELECT j.job_id, j.job_name, j.owner, j.description,h1.exec_num, jpt.target_name FROM smp_vdj_job j,smp_vdj_job_per_target jpt, (SELECT job_id, target_name, exec_num, MIN(time_stamp+time_zone/86400000) "TIMESTAMP" FROM smp_vdj_job_log WHERE time_stamp+time_zone/86400000 < SYSDATE AND status = 4 GROUP BY job_id, target_name, exec_num) h1 WHERE j.job_id = jpt.job_id AND j.job_id = h1.job_id AND jpt.target_name = h1.target_name AND j.job_name LIKE '%(no output)%'; BEGIN FOR c_job_rec IN c_job LOOP BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Deleting output for; job name: '||c_job_rec.job_name||', id: '||c_job_rec.job_id); DELETE FROM smp_vdj_job_output WHERE blob_id IN ( SELECT output_id FROM smp_vdj_job_log WHERE job_id = c_job_rec.job_id AND target_name = c_job_rec.target_name AND exec_num = c_job_rec.exec_num ); DELETE FROM smp_vdj_job_log WHERE job_id = c_job_rec.job_id AND target_name = c_job_rec.target_name AND exec_num = c_job_rec.exec_num; DELETE FROM smp_vdm_notification_details WHERE name = c_job_rec.job_id AND execnum = c_job_rec.exec_num AND target = c_job_rec.target_name AND type = 1; END; END LOOP; COMMIT; END; / HTH, Bruce Reardon -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ravi Madabhushanam Sent: Wednesday, 24 May 2006 10:43 AM We are using OEM Grid control to monitor 4 databases. We have configured many jobs on these databases to take backup, monitor the status of DB and mail etc.. In this,there is a job, which executes for every 5mins. (appx 275 times a day). The OEM repository is preserving the entries of this job for last 31 days . I'm able to see first 500 entries of this particular job ( at max last 2 days). actually thease entries are not of that important for us unless there is a failure of job or so. even in that case at max we would like to keep only last 7 days information. I read in docs that we can configure OEM repository to how long the information should be kept with. but its not specifically specified for jobs/for a particular job. Now can anyone please tell me, will i be able to delete this information from repository periodically to decrease the space usage .if yes, how?.
