database 8.1.7.3

Has anyone run into and knows a work around for utl file limitations.

Specifically, we have many directories we need to write to over 512 bytes but the problem is if we need to run a session trace , we can only have 256 bytes and the directory that the trace file goes to is the last one specified in the utl_file.

So currently we are having to change our utl_file, bounce the system, do our trace and set it back again and bounce again. Which to me is unacceptable.

I understand there is a way to set up multiple utl_files, but I can't seem to find any info on it. And would I be able to trace

I don't think it is possible for me to specify utl_file=/mymaindirectory/* in the init.ora and have files go into the subdirectories they need ot underneath. You would think you would be able to since you can specify *.

Any takers on this one?
