Re: ** trace file

  I know the trace file name. I want to have a different name. For example I have a long procedure running for hours. I do a

oradebug setospid 400         

oradebug unlimit         

oradebug event 10046 trace name context forever , level 12         

then after 5minutes :

oradebug event 10046 trace name context off         

to get the trace file. This makes the file quite bulky. Then I do some changes like create index, analyze etc and after sometime I do this trace  again and so on.  I want to  do the second part to  separate file.

I might need to do this couple of time and cannot have a 1GB trace file.

I also cannot remove the file or empty the trace file. Because after that nothing goes into the file. Thanks

If you're going to use ORADEBUG, then how about taking another approach and simply obtaining the regular trace file name using ORADEBUG TRACEFILE_NAME instead?

Hope this helps!

        Hi,
        

Is there a way to give a specific name to a trace file. Thanks for help. tracefile_identifier can be used as below :

alter session set tracefile_identifier='XY'         

However, this does not seem to work for         

oradebug setospid 400         

oradebug unlimit         

oradebug event 10046 trace name context forever , level 12                  

This is needed since same process could be running long and a new trace file is needed and old one needs to be deleted. I tried enabling trace for some time and then doing :                  

oradebug event 10046 trace name context off         

then enabling it again : this seems to add to the trace file but not much luck with getting the info using tkprof. Can someone help. Thanks.         

I tried emptying trace file by moving another file to it and then doing vi and deleting contents. However, after that it does not write to the file. Thanks
