Inst_Top Growing rapidly.

[raiq1]

Dear Erman,

For EBS 12.1.3 environment, we are having a problem for INST_TOP are growing very rapidly.



[oracle@prodapp12 PROD]$ du -khs inst

701G    inst


Inst_TOP are occupied more then 700 GB space, now wants to clean Inst, need your advice that which folder I have to purge or delete to release the space.

For Below apps folder are only 40 GB occupied, so it is fine but problem in INST_TOP

[oracle@prodapp12 PROD]$ du -khs apps
40G     apps


Need your advice.

Regards,
Raiq

In 12.1.3, the logs are there in the INST_TOP
Concurrent manager log files for instance..
A debug enabled and frequently executed concurrent program may increase the size of INST_TOP dramatically.

I suggest you to execute du -sh in the subdirectories and drill down till you reach the end.. (the esact directory which have the huge space)
Then we you find it, check the files (number of them, and the size of them) . Note the type of them.. According to the file type (for instance concurrent request logs or something), check the corrective action and implement.
