 We can update the Oracle Audit Vault using the same configuration and we require to follow the below commands. firstly you need to download the Oracle Audit Vault patches. -- first need to update the new network environment using below commands.   vi /usr/local/dbfw/etc/dbfw.conf    - change GATEWAY to 192.168.128.255 and host ip to 192.168.128.50  - remove syslog ip from both records.  SYSLOGDEST="192.168.10.1" SYSLOGDEST="192.168.10.1:4444"  /usr/local/dbfw/bin/priv/configure-networking you can check the current status of the below command.

What is Block Change Tracking? Block Change Tracking is an Oracle Database feature used with RMAN incremental backups. It tracks the physical locations of changed blocks in the database and stores this information in a separate file called the Block Change Tracking file. Oracle documentation states that this tracking information is maintained in a separate file and is used for tasks such as improving incremental backup performance. Without BCT, RMAN may need to scan the datafiles to determine which blocks have changed since the previous backup. With BCT enabled, RMAN can directly read the change tracking file and identify changed blocks more efficiently. ----- Login to SQL sqlplus / as sysdba            Set lin 400 SELECT status, filename, bytes FROM   v$block_change_tracking; CHECK OMF SHOW PARAMETER db_create_file_dest;  ENABLE BCT (BLOCK CHAIN TRACKING) Common method: ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING;  Add to a file path:...

Warning: long redo log write elapsed times detected, the LG* process tracefiles have more details This warning means LGWR / LGnn background processes are taking too long to write redo to the online redo logs. It is usually related to one of these: - Slow storage / high I/O latency on redo log disks - Redo logs placed on busy disks together with datafiles, FRA, archive logs, backups, or OS files - Too many commits from the application, causing frequent LGWR flushes - Redo log size too small, causing frequent log switches - CPU scheduling issue, where LGWR is not getting CPU quickly - Data Guard synchronous transport delay, if using SYNC/AFFIRM - In newer 19c RU versions, especially around 19.28, this warning can appear more visibly because of diagnostic changes, so first confirm whether there is a real performance impact before changing anything. - Oracle’s own wait-event documentation says log file sync is the foreground wait for redo write confirmation after commit, and log file paral...
