I'm guessing that your file is there somewhere, you're just looking in the wrong place - maybe
in the SQL*Plus bin directory or the oracle bin directory? Do a search!
Anyway, just reissue the command using the syntax at the wesite
posted - please tell us how you got on!!
HTH.

When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.
Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help,
please do not top post and do try to trim your replies!

  • Location of client trace files sync'ed to the middleware

    Hi
    In the documentation (link below) it is mentioned that trace files sync'ed from the client to the middleware can be opened with an editor (on the middleware) but where are the files located?
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/f9943fbaf93268e10000000a1553f6/content.htm

    Hi Andre,
    The transaction ME_RTRACE is used to set the trace settings on the MI client instead of the user of the mobile device setting it. This is usually handled by the administrator. Just by setting this on the middleware will not get the trace on the middleware. The process is as follows:
    The administrator makes the trace settings on the middleware. This is updated on the client device when that device makes a sync with the middleware. Now if the administrator wants to see the trace file then he has to activate the checkbox - Send with Next sync or the user on the mobile device can select the option - Send trace to server.
    This trace can be viewed in CCMS. For this go to transaction RZ11 - Mobile Infrastructure - Logs and traces.
    Here you can do a select for the particular device which you are interested in.

    Any idea where they are?

  • Change default location of Product Installer Files

    I have a hard drive with multiple partitions and would prefer my installers go to a different drive when copied to my computer i.e. some place other than <ProgramData>\National Instruments\MDF\ProductCache.
    1) Can I change this default location?
    2) If not, is there any harm in just moving the directory manually and keeping things in another location myself (pathing issues)?
    I believe I will just have to browse on disk now when building installers because LabVIEW won't find things if they aren't located at the default path, but I'm fine with this.

  • Where the default location of generated source files?

    Hello!
    In my processor I create several source files and check it's names for existance before
    private String genClassName( final String packageName, final String key, final String suffix )
            final StringBuilder suggest = new StringBuilder( packageName ).append( key ).append( suffix );
            final Elements elementsUtil = processingEnv.getElementUtils();
            int i = 0;
            while( elementsUtil.getTypeElement( suggest ) != null )
                suggest.append( i++ );
            return suggest.substring( packageName.length() );
        }If I not define -s option for javac at first time compile and then set it to some location, then some generated before files are visible for this method and numbers added.
    So, the question: where to find a default "shadow" source tree to clean up it before next compilation with changed -s option?
    Sorry for my english and thanks for answers
    Edited by: Maxoid2 on Jun 3, 2008 10:34 PM

    The directory to clean up is where the -s option pointed to last time.
    The simplest way to do this is to always use the -s option and don't change it. Using the default value for -s option (which is the same as -d) tends to lead to problems. I always specify -s option, and make it different to -d option and -sourcepath.
    If you do this you don't even have to clean it up, javac only looks in there for files that it placed there. Files from previous builds get overwritten. Files from previous builds that are not overwritten are ignored.
    with a separate -s directory, it just works.

  • You cannot change your default location of "Creative Cloud Files" for sync from desktop

    So, I'm finding that I am restricted from moving the "Creative Cloud Files" container (for syncing to the cloud from my desktop). It is bound to C:Users/Name and will not move.
    This is very saddening and seems like an elementary function that should be included.
    I do not want to store things on my small SSD C: drive -- thanks.
    Am I missing something here?

    Hi Mark,
    As per Adobe F.A.Q, I would like to state that :http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    "Your files remain on your local hard drive. You can also choose to take advantage of the ability to synchronize your local files with your Creative Cloud storage. Even if you choose to sync your files to Creative Cloud, you will always have a local copy of your files."
    There are some workarounds, it might work out, you can try it : It is for windows
    First, stop the sync and exit the app ( right-click on the Connection icon and click Turn Sync Off, right-click again and choose Exit )
    Go to “C:\Users\your user name” folder and locate Creative Cloud Files folder
    Move the folder to a different location ( e.g. “D:\Data\Creative Files” ) and make sure that you move complete Creative Cloud Files folder
    Run cmd.exe in admin privileges ( type cmd in Start menu, right click on cmd and select Run as administrator )
    Type following:
    mklink /J “C:\Users\your_user_name\Creative Cloud Folder” “D:\Data\Creative Files”
    You should receive message that the junction is created ( refer to this guide if you need more help:Complete Guide to Symbolic Links (symlinks) on Windows or Linux )
    Now to test it BEFORE you turn on the Connection app simply copy something to “D:\Data\Creative Files” folder, than go to Creative Cloud Files folder in your users folder and you should see the file you copied
    If you are able to see the file, all you have to do is to start the Connection app! Hooray!
    This guide should work for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

  • How to change trace file location in Oracle Fusion Middleware

    Hi all,
    I would like to know how to change the location of the trace file in Oracle Fusion Middleware - Report Server 11g ?
    I notice there is logging.xml file in $ORACLE_HOME/config/ReportServerComponenent/logging.xml. In the xml file, it did specify the location of the diagnostic file and other log files.
    Is it the correct way to reconfigure the location of the log file? I havent try it though. :D
    Thanks.

    Hi Fleix,
    For additional instructions for Release 11i, see Note.167635.1 and Note.150168.1.
    For additional instructions for Release 11.0.3 and 10.7, see Note.148982.1 and Note.135715.1.
    a. Append the following to the end of the URL used to login to the Oracle Applications:
    ?play=&record=collect&log=/tmp/oracle.FRD.log
    ** Note: The self service login URL will not work for creating FRD trace files. You may need to talk to your technical team to get the URL that accesses the forms server directly.
    b. If the URL to logon to 11i applications is:
    http://machine:9603/dev60cgi/f60cgi
    Then the following label needs to be included:
    ?play=&record=collect&log=/tmp/'file_name'.frd
    For example to create frd for above url log in to application as
    http://machine:9603/dev60cgi/f60cgi?play=&record=collect&log=/tmp/4764802.992.frd
    c. Now log into the application and go directly to the form with the problem and perform the actions which generate the error.
    Once the error has been generated and cleared, immediately log out of the application so no additional diagnostics are captured.
    d. The diagnostics will be written to the file specifed after "log=". In the example, this would be /tmp/4764802.992.frd
    e. After reproducing the issue, log on the server side of the instance and go to the directory to /tmp (cd tmp)
    f. Retrieve the frd file: /tmp/4764802.992.frd
    This file contains all the details about built-in programs, triggers, procedures in a FORM
    Thanks,
    Anchorage :)

  • Naming trace file

    I have generated many trace files for analysis using tkprof. However, I have a difficulty in locating the exact trace file (.trc) from 100s of trace files. Naming my trace file will save time. Is there a way to name the trace file when I start tracing? (i.e. when I set sql_trace to true).
    thanks
    Srinidhi Rao

    You can use tracefile_identifier feature:
    ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'traceid';When this parameter value is set, the trace file name has the following format:
    sid_ora_pid_traceid.trc

  • Problem with trace files

    Im facing a problem with trace files.
    When I open a trace file..its content is nothing but a location of trace file , of the actual trace file location.
    c:\admin\dbname\udump --> When I open this..I find <dbname>ora4444.trc , when I open this file..I again see
    dump file : c:\admin\dbname\dump\<dbname>ora4444.trc and nothing else is found.
    What does this mean.?
    Any help is much appreciated

    Im checking the trace files for any errors..it doesn't contain any content but the location of the trace file itself. I open the trace file with notepad itself..
    for example.
    if the trace file location is f:\admin\xxx\udump\file.trc --> it should record errors as told by the alert log..
    How ever when I open this file.trc , I again see dump file "f:\admin\xxx\udump\file.trc"
    Hope my question is understandbale now. Thanks for your earlier response.

  • Where is default location for oratab?

    In Oracle 8i, where is the default location for the oratab file used by dbstart/dbshut? Is it operating system dependent? I am using 8i on a Sun box and on an AIX box.

    Sun Directory Server is NOT based on OpenLDAP and does not have a slapd.conf.
    The bootstrap configuration file is under /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-hostname/config and is named dse.ldif.

  • Crossdomain.xml trying to Load from default Location

    I'm loading data from a remote server, and I've specified a
    custom location for my policy file using
    System.security.loadPolicyFile( ); ... everything works, and loads
    correctly... though I get an error in Firefox and Safari on mac
    that its unable to load the file from the root of my Remote server.
    In the status log, it shows calls to both my custom location,
    and the default location - with the error being on the default
    location. Is it possible to suppress the call to the default
    location (looking for the file on the server root), so the error
    doesn't appear?

    Nice one, thanks for the tip kglad. After much studying and reading this weekend based off your reply, I got it
    figured out this morning.
    Cheers to you,

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?
