Only ARCH Bgprocess may create archivelog?

2011/05/30 by 2 Comments

我们在学习Oracle入门知识时都会介绍到ARCH归档进程，归档进程ARCH负责将在线重做日志归档，注意ARCH只会将日志文件中存在的重做内容复制到归档日志文件中，举例来说重做日志文件的大小是512MB，但当前写入的redo entry只占用10MB空间，此时由某些条件触发了日志切换，那么产生的归档文件的大小仍是10MB。

一直以来存在着这样一种误解：归档操作只会由ARCH进程负责完成。

实际上归档操作可能由多种进程完成，举例来说前台进程Fore ground process就可以完成归档操作，当在前台进程中执行alter system archive log current命令时实际执行归档操作的是前台进程(server process)，而非ARCH，这可能是大多数人料想之外的，口说无凭，我们具体验证一下:

在以上system call trace中可以看到前台进程首先读取并更新了控制文件(controlfile/1.ctl)，之后读取了在线日志文件的头部(read o1_mf_3_6v34jpmp_.log=512bytes),接着以相关属性创建了归档日志文件(o1_mf_1_720_6y700ch9_.arc，注意这里使用了O_CREAT、O_EXCL、O_SYNC、0660属性)并得到该打开文件描述符15，接着以每次buffer为1048576字节来读取在线日志并写入归档日志pread(onlinelog)->pwrite(archivelog)，直到在线日志中的redo记录被写完。这里的buffer大小1048576实际上受到隐藏参数_log_archive_buffer_size(Size of each archival buffer in log file blocks)的影响，该参数指定了归档缓冲的大小，其单位为日志文件块(log file block)，日志文件块大小在不同平台上各有差异，具体可以参考这里。目前主流的UNIX平台上日志文件标准块大小为512 bytes，而_log_archive_buffer_size的默认值一般为2048，所以得出了这里的(2048*512)=1048576=1MB buffer大小。需要注意的是与”alter system archive log current”命令不同，”switch logfile”不会引起前台进程去执行归档操作，归档操作仍将由ARCH进程完成。

我们可以很方便的通过查询v$archived_log视图来了解具体完成某个日志文件归档操作的是何种进程，这得益于其creator列:


SQL> select distinct creator  from v$archived_log;

CREATOR
-------
RMAN
FGRD
ARCH


CREATOR 	VARCHAR2(7) 	Creator of the archivelog:

    ARCH - Archiver process
    FGRD - Foreground process
    RMAN - Recovery Manager
    SRMN - RMAN at standby
    LGWR - Logwriter process

以上可以看到可能创建归档日志的进程不仅仅局限于FGRD与ARCH，RMAN(注意实际上并非直接由rman进程完成)在执行热备操作时也可能掺合进来归档一把，此外在DataGuard环境中LGWR也会参与归档操作。

V$archived_log视图中另外一个有趣的字段是REGISTRAR，一般来说在非DataGuard环境中CREATOR总是等于REGISTRAR，而在DataGuard环境中REGISTRAR常是RFS(remote file server process (RFS) on the standby system where the RFS process writes the redo data to either archived redo log files or standby redo log files)后台进程，而实际的CREATOR则往往仍是ARCH或LGWR。

REGISTRAR 	VARCHAR2(7) 	Registrar of the entry:

    RFS - Remote File Server process
    ARCH - Archiver process
    FGRD - Foreground process
    RMAN - Recovery manager
    SRMN - RMAN at standby
    LGWR - Logwriter process
