RE: Trace file size...

Hi Jeremiah,

When ever I run a certain Automation script file, I get an error pointing it to a trace file S000.trc or S001.trc, when I check these files they both point out that they are full, *** TRACE FILE FULL *** What should I do to get rid of this error, why does the error keep coming in this file when it is full?

The error in alert is ORA-0600 [17182](pointing to S000.trc and S001.trc files) which is a memory area, I found from a few notes on Metalink that if I set the CURSOR_SHARED=EXACT instead of FORCE, I should be able to get rid of this problem as it is a bug in 8.1.7. I did just that and the problem subsided but today it appeared again, but surprisingly in only some of the scripts, and some scripts run just fine (initially none were functioning but some do now and some don't). I had changed this parameter for the session level, but didn't bounce the instance, should I bounce the instance?

For the whole instance? Usually, we only run SQL tracing for one or a few sessions at a time. Turning it on for the whole instance makes for a whole lot of tracing and greatly decreased performance. What are you trying to find out?

It will end the tracing to the file, and no new file will be started. There will be a message at the end of the file indicating it has reached the max file size.

Unless you are running MTS/Shared Server, the trace output begins with something like:

That's SID.SERIAL# inside the parentheses.
