Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

mv alert.log

I'm wondering if I can use the MV command on an alert.og that is in use by a 19c database on SolarisSparc. So, while the database runs, just:

mv alert_SID.log alert_SID.old.log

Does a new file needs to be touched ?

Can information be lost ?

I know log file cycling is a thing, but it may not be the same functionality as an OS command "mv".
