Last updated on FEBRUARY 17, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 12.2.0.1 and later
Oracle Database Backup Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Cloud Service - Version N/A and later
Gen 1 Exadata Cloud at Customer (Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Machine) - Version N/A and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

In 11.2.0.3 as part of refresh process this procedure was executing

>> alter table "SCHEMA_NAME"."MLOG$__" shrink space CHECK

Now in 12.2.0.1 the same procedure first execute:

>> alter table "SCHEMA_NAME"."MLOG$__" shrink space CHECK

and then if row movement for mlog$ is disabled it turns it on:

>> alter table "SCHEMA_NAME"."MLOG$__" enable row movement

and then shrinks mlog$.

Constantly shrinking mlog$ during peak workload hours leads to user sessions waiting for TM locks on mlog$

Goal

To turn implicit shrinking of logs by refresh procedure off
