I am running Oracle 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.2 of various flavors
of UNIX (AIX, SOLARIS, HPUX, LINUX).

I currenlty use adrci to remove TRACE,DUMP,ALERT,... files.

Is there a tool other than "rm" that can be called to clean
up *.XML files



pwd
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/otapdev/otapdev

-rw-r-----    1 oracle   dba        10486112 Apr 17 2010  ./alert/log_1.xml
-rw-r-----    1 oracle   dba        10485856 Apr 23 2010  ./alert/log_10.xml

Michel,
Thanks, but I already have something similiar to the adrci
example in the link.. As mentioned, I am looking for a way to
clean up the .xml files.... I really don't want to hard-code
directories if there is not need too.

I will keep searching.

If you have a closer look at the second script you will see there is no hard coded directories, it finds them from instance parameters. You can adjust it as you want.

Anyway, you can always use "find" to remove the files you want accordingly to the policy you want.

Michel

If you have setup the purging policies, perhaps this is simpler:
#!/bin/ksh
# cleanup_files.sh
#
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
HOMEPATH=$(adrci exec="show homes"|grep -v '^ADR Homes:')
echo "spool adrci_`date +%Y%m%d\-%H%M`.log">adrci_cmds.adi
echo "set echo on">>adrci_cmds.adi
for h in $HOMEPATH
do  
  echo "set homepath $h">>adrci_cmds.adi
  echo "purge">>adrci_cmds.adi
done
echo "spool off">>adrci_cmds.adi
echo "quit">>adrci_cmds.adi

adrci script=adrci_cmds.adi

All:
Thanks for the input but I still can't seem to get rid of the
the *.XML files. Is anybody else having this issue. I am trying
on both 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.3

Any expamples would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps your purging policy is too long, did you try something like this in you script?:
set homepath diag/rdbms/otapdev/otapdev
purge -age 60 -type alert

This does not appear to work with 11.1.0.7


$ find . -name "*.xml" -exec ls -lt {} ";" | wc -l
      36
opadev1:/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/otapdev/otapdev
$ adrci

adrci> adrci> exit

$ find . -name "*.xml" -exec ls -lt {} ";" | wc -l
      36



Michel, I know I can use the find/rm command but that is
what I am trying to avoid as this will require me to hard
code a starting point for the find command....

I would have hoped adrci would have handled XML files like
it does ALERT/TRACE/CDUMP...

Thanks all

find $starting_place -name "*xml" .... I want to ensure I
delete the right XML files...

I dont want to pass in starting_place as a parameter to a script
if it can be avoided.

And so how your script should know how to start?
In other words, define your starting point, till now you NEVER did it.
