I've been reviewing and rewriting some old cleanup scripts created by DBAs long since gone.

For each 7.3 version database, they do the following:

rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/otrace/admin/*.dat

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/otrccref

The first clears out three files, collect.dat, process.dat, and regid.dat.

The second seems to reinitialize them.

I've looked through the 7.3 docs, but can't find anything specific on this.

Does anybody have any idea what these files are and is the above an appropriate thing to do on a nightly basis. The files do seem to grow over time. Received on Mon Jul 10 2000 - 16:27:34 CDT
