Viewing Logged Transactions

Transactions that take place after a database is backup are lost when you restore the database. After you back up a database, enable transaction logging, which captures ongoing transactions that can be replayed to recover a database to its most recent state.

You can log and replay only block storage database transactions.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you use transaction logging and replay, along with database backup and restore, as part of a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy.

To view the list of logged transactions, you must have the Administrator role.

  To view logged transactions:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, right-click a database for which transaction logging is enabled, and select Display Transactions.

  2. To specify the transactions you want to view, select one of the following options:

    • Based on Last Replay Time

      Administration Services Console lists the transactions that were logged after the last replay request was originally executed.

    • Since Time: Enter a time in format mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss. For example, Mar 28, 2008 19:35:43.

      Administration Services Console lists the transactions that were logged after the specified time.

  3. You can sort the list by the following attributes:

    • The time the transaction was executed

    • The user who submitted the transaction request

    • The transaction sequence ID, which indicates the order in which the transaction was performed and the order in which it must be replayed

  4. Click OK.
