APEX Overhead and trace files

Hey everyone,
We've been asked to "stress" and "load" test our application as it is predicted our user base might grow in the near future (company acquisitions/etc)...
Unfortunately, there is concern about the overhead added by APEX. From everything I've read, I do not personally believe APEX adds much to each page view (as compared to our own self-managed data), however I need to PROVE this to our system admins/etc. Simply referencing things on the internet like "APEX doesn't add much overhead" doesn't exactly make the case.
To accomplish my mission, I've done the following:
1) generated a trace file on a test page by appending the following to the end of the URL:
"&p_trace=YES" (without quotes)
2) found the location of trace files using:
select value from v$parameter where name = 'user_dump_dest';
3) found the exact trace file for my apex page view
grep -l "3853406964369" *.trc (where the number in quotes was the session id taken from my apex url)
4) formatted the trace file using tkprof from the linux command line:
tkprof orcl_ora_24115.trc tkprof_output
Now, I'm in the process of examining the file. It is great that it shows everything involved in generating a page! A couple of quick questions though.
A) is it safe to assume that this trace file (found by using my method above in steps 1-4) only contains records associated with my single apex page view? My fear is that just because a file contains my session id, that does not guarantee that other random stuff from other sessions is also in the same file (sorry i'm new to trace files and especially trace files generated by apex).
B) if i view a second page with the trace=YES, will a second file get generated or does it get combined into 1 file? how can i easily tell which file is for which page view?
C) is there an easy way to differentiate what queries would normally be made by oracle (regardless of the UI) versus queries ran by APEX specifically (which would not occur if we were using PHP for a front end)?
Specifically, I see queries (similar to the following) that do not appear to be APEX specific from what I can tell:
-- example 1 --
select i.obj#,i.ts#,i.file#,i.block#,i.intcols,i.type#,i.flags,i.property,
i.pctfree$,i.initrans,i.maxtrans,i.blevel,i.leafcnt,i.distkey,i.lblkkey,
i.dblkkey,i.clufac,i.cols,i.analyzetime,i.samplesize,i.dataobj#,
nvl(i.degree,1),nvl(i.instances,1),i.rowcnt,mod(i.pctthres$,256),
i.indmethod#,i.trunccnt,nvl(c.unicols,0),nvl(c.deferrable#+c.valid#,0),
nvl(i.spare1,i.intcols),i.spare4,i.spare2,i.spare6,decode(i.pctthres$,null,
null,mod(trunc(i.pctthres$/256),256)),ist.cachedblk,ist.cachehit,
ist.logicalread
from
ind$ i, ind_stats$ ist, (select enabled, min(cols) unicols,
min(to_number(bitand(defer,1))) deferrable#,min(to_number(bitand(defer,4)))
valid# from cdef$ where obj#=:1 and enabled > 1 group by enabled) c where
i.obj#=c.enabled(+) and i.obj# = ist.obj#(+) and i.bo#=:1 order by i.obj#
-- example 2 --
select intcol#, toid, version#, intcols, intcol#s, flags, synobj#
from
subcoltype$ where obj#=:1 order by intcol# asc
and I see queries that are definitely APEX related (based on the existence of references to wwv objects):
-- example 3 --
SELECT ID, BRANCH_NAME, BRANCH_ACTION, BRANCH_POINT, BRANCH_TYPE,
BRANCH_CONDITION, BRANCH_CONDITION_TEXT, BRANCH_CONDITION_TYPE,
BRANCH_WHEN_BUTTON_ID, NVL(SAVE_STATE_BEFORE_BRANCH_YN,'N'),
SECURITY_SCHEME
FROM
WWV_FLOW_STEP_BRANCHES WHERE FLOW_ID = :B4 AND FLOW_STEP_ID = :B3 AND
BRANCH_POINT = 'BEFORE_HEADER' AND (REQUIRED_PATCH IS NULL OR
(REQUIRED_PATCH > 0 AND (:B2 IS NULL OR INSTR(:B2 ,
':'||TO_CHAR(REQUIRED_PATCH)||':') = 0) ) OR (REQUIRED_PATCH < 0 AND (:B1
IS NULL OR INSTR(:B1 ,':'||TO_CHAR(0-REQUIRED_PATCH)||':') = 0) ) ) ORDER
BY BRANCH_SEQUENCE, ID
and then of course it's easy for me to identify any queries that are based on our code because I recognize the object names we use.
In the mean-time I'm starting to look into how to interpret trace files (outside of the context of apex).
My biggest concern is that I do not want to "ding" or "tax" APEX for queries that it had nothing to do with and that would be ran by oracle regardless of the UI we use to "view a page".
Thanks!

Move older audit files to a different filesystem until you find someone being able to define what files can be deleted.

No trace file produced

I am try to trace a page in my application using &p_trace=YES. I have added to the url and run the page. I have checked the location that trace files are saved to using show parameter USER_DUMP_DEST. I have navigated to the directory but no trace files has been produced. I'm using Apex 3.1 and Oracle XE.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ian

I have found it The trace file was in bdump not udump which user_dump_dest points to

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.

DBMS_MONITOR usage and trace file is empty

NLSRTL      11.2.0.3.0     Production
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition      11.2.0.3.0     64bit Production
PL/SQL      11.2.0.3.0     Production
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000:      11.2.0.3.0     Production
I want to trace a block of PL/SQL code by using the package DBMS_MONITOR.
And I do it this way:
ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'ET2';
DECLARE
   <some delarations>
BEGIN
   DBMS_MONITOR.SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE(waits => TRUE, binds => TRUE);
   <some selects and updates are running here>
   DBMS_MONITOR.SESSION_TRACE_DISABLE;
END;
COMMIT;Then I locate the trace file by running this query:
select u_dump.value || '/' || instance.value || '_ora_' || v$process.spid || nvl2(v$process.traceid, '_' || v$process.traceid, null ) || '.trc'"Trace File"
from V$PARAMETER u_dump
cross join V$PARAMETER instance
cross join V$PROCESS
join V$SESSION on v$process.addr = V$SESSION.paddr
where u_dump.name = 'user_dump_dest'
and instance.name = 'instance_name'
and V$SESSION.audsid=sys_context('userenv','sessionid');This gives me the path: /ORACLE/DBDEV/dump/diag/rdbms/dbdev/DBDEV/trace/DBDEV_ora_30277668_ET2.trc
Then I go to the file and what I see in it is just two rows which look like this:
Trace file /ORACLE/DBDEV/dump/diag/rdbms/dbdev/DBDEV/trace/DBDEV_ora_30277668_ET2.trc
CLOSE #4574493152:c=1,e=1,dep=1,type=3,tim=57812311082909And it is the same no matter how many times I run the block.
Please, help me understand what do I miss to make the DBMS_MONITOR package generate tracing information.
Thank you

It works for me

Trace file in different location

Dear all,
11g on Solaris 10.
My oracle home (dump location) located in a file system of 10GB.. I need to trace a session which will generate huge trace file. Is there anyway I can have the trace file generated in a different location where I have enough space to allow the growth of the trace file.
Thanks
Kai

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
Thanks for any help,
Andre

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.

Nameeta

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 :)

Create trace file on specific location

Hi all,
I'm working with a 11gR2 Enterprise DB on Linux RedHat 5
Now I need to create a trace file. This trace will be huge and I need to create it on an specific folder on my system because the udump fs could be small for it. These are the commands I'll use:
oradebug setospid 3165
oradebug unlimit
oradebug event 10046 trace name context forever, level 12
If I use the "oradebug tracefile_name" I'll get the actual trace file name but, How can I say the specific location where I need to create it?
Best regards,
dbajug

Best regards,
dbajugi dont know of any method that will allow you to do this for a single file, but you can use below workaround since the tracefile name is predictable
lets say your database name is ORCL
the ospid is 3165, so the tracefile will be created as udump/ORCL_ora_3165.trc
before starting the trace, you can pre-create it at different location and point a symlink on it, e.g
touch /lot_of_space_here/trace.trc
ln -s /lot_of_space_here/trace.trc udump/ORCL_ora_3165.trc
and now start tracing

*** Trace file full ***

you have what one session wants the other session has what you want; neither will give it up and so Oracle detects this and kicks one out. If you trace your SQL and COMMIT logic you will find the problem

Automatic deletion of old archive files and trace files

I've got a database that must run 24x7 without being monitored by a DBA.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete and uncatalog old archive files?
2. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete old trace files located in udump and bdump?
Thanks in advance

1. When you say 'uncatalog old archives do you mean that your database is backed up using RMAN and a catalog? If this is the case then RMAN can delete the backed up archives for you. Just add 'delete input' to the end of the 'backup archive log...' line in your backup script.
2. Oracle can't delete the trace files. Best way is to write a script that delete all files older than X days and schedule it to run every night.
