Oracle generate trace file when log switch

Hi,
i am using oracle 9.2.3 on solaris 9. I found oracle generate a trace file in UDUMP directory when log file switch.
could anyone tell me how to tell oracle not to generate the trace file when log switch?
thanks a log

During switch are seeing any error in alert log? By the way what is the content of that trace file? Is any event set in your init.ora?
Thanks and Regards,

Generate Trace file when doing RMAN

OS AIX 5.3L with Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1), Since beginning of the RMAN backup, the Oracle generated trc file in udump and it is quite big ( over my dump_file_size limit). According to Metalink, it is a bug (Bug:4529700), since 2005 and it seems happening to all platforms. So does this bug have patch yet? How can I aovid the dump trace file to avoid exploring the storage directory?

*** DUMP FILE SIZE IS LIMITED TO 5242880 BYTES ***
because of the limit of my dump_file_size, so it stopped and Oracle generates another small one.
and these trace file always were generated at the end of the RMAN backup.
If you read the bottom of the note, it mention the bug: 4529700 -- Trace File Created During Rman Database Backup and in that note: it gave an example content of the file. You probably refereed to another bug: 4596065, which generated an empty trace.

How to generate trace file from different session?

I have a cron job which starts several Oracle stored proc (Oracle 9.2). I want to generate a trace file when the job is running. I know I can use this alter session command before I start this job. But this is my session not the job session. So this command won't generate trace file for job's session.
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 8';
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.
S.

Easiest way is to use database control/grid control - click trace session button!
The 'old fashioned way is'
begin
DBMS_SYSTEM.SET_SQL_TRACE_IN_SESSION(SID,serial#,TRUE);
end;
find sid and serial# in a select from v$session
There are other ways too but this is probably the easiest.
You'll need appropriate privileges to run this .

How to generate Trace files

Hi,
I have a package under which there are some procedures and functions.
I am supposed to generate the trace files for each run of the procedures in the package.
How to generate trace files? Pls help me out.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vijay

I dont have access to production server to see the
trace file. Is there a way to see the content of the
trace file from client machine?No. At least there isn't one without additional work from your administrator. I remember I've seen somewhere some kind of solution when user_dump_dest is used as oracle directory (specific oracle object) in your db and then use either external tables or utl_file or something like that to read the trace file. Of course this assumes your DBA should do some work before.
However I'd say that simply getting trace file from server is much easier :)
Consider, Autotrace option in sqlplus. With the help
of Autotrace set option, we can see the trace output
on the sqlplus screen for the anonymous blocks. Different tool, different behaviour.
Is there a way to see the trace for the stored
procedures?Explained above.

How can reduce generate trace file.

Hi all,
how can reduce generate trace file.
frequently created sql trace file in oracle 10g
approximate 5g in one day.
and database size 10gb
os windows

If you cannot disable the tracing for some reason, consider setting maximum file size for the dump.

Generate trace file with required name

hi all,
as a sys user i want to trace a user session. so i am using
SQL> EXEC DBMS_SYSTEM.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid=>123, serial#=>1234, sql_trace=>TRUE);
SQL> EXEC DBMS_SYSTEM.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid=>123, serial#=>1234, sql_trace=>FALSE);
to trace. but this trace file is mixing with another trace files in udump.
did some google and found that we can use ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = "MY_TEST_SESSION". but this will generate trace file for sys user account not for the desired user session. how we can define trace file name for desired user session trace.
Please let me...
thanks

>but this trace file is mixing with another trace files in udump.
above is NOT true for any *NIX Operating System.
The trace file name will contain the OS ProcessID#
is this application 3-tier/
does application utilize connection pooling?
It appears that you post frequently & reply/respond very infrequently.

Unable to generate trace file

Hi,
I have written the stored procedure for starting sql trace on a given session for say n number of seconds.
create or replace procedure start_trace
v_sid in number,
v_serial# in number,
seconds in number)
IS
v_user varchar2 (32);
duration number;
dump_dest varchar2 (200);
db_name varchar2 (32);
no_session_found exception;
stmt varchar2(100);

begin
select username into v_user
from v$session
where sid= v_sid and
serial# = v_serial#;

when NO_DATA_FOUND then
raise no_session_found;
end;
dbms_output.put_line('Tracing Started for User: '|| v_user);
dbms_output.put_line('Tracing Start Time: '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,true);
if seconds is null then
duration := 60;
else
duration := seconds;
end if;
dbms_lock.sleep(duration);
dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,false);
dbms_output.put_line ('Tracing Stop Time: '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
select value into dump_dest
from v$parameter
where name = 'user_dump_dest';
dbms_output.put_line('Trace Directory: ' || dump_dest);
exception
when no_session_found then
dbms_output.put_line('No session found for sid and serial# specified');
END start_trace;
The above procedure compiles successfully and when I call it from sql prompt it gives me the message that the pl/sql procedure was completed successfully and all put_line statements are displayed.
Real problem comes when I check udump for the trace file. I can not find it there. It seems all the statements in the procedure are executed successfully except dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,true) and dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,false) for some strange reasons.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I do not get any error message. The following is the output:

Generating Trace file for ODI Sessions

ODI Gurus
am new to ODI, for one of our integration project am using ODI for transforming data from Source to Target Instance.
Oracle Database is installed on both Source and Target instances. Is there a way to generate Database Trace files for ODI sessions triggered.
If yes can you provide the steps to enable/disable database trace for ODI sessions.
Regards
Uma Shankar

Hi Uma Shankar,
My assumptions:
1.) You want to selectively enable Oracle tracing when only the ODI scenarios are executed and not otherwise.
If that is the case then you will have to add some external steps comprising of OS commands and variables that will control if those steps are to be executed or not. These steps will invoke the OS commands to start Oracle tracing.
2.) You know the steps to create a package and know how to use Interfaces and other ODI utilities in the flow of the package.
3.) You know how to create and execute scenarios
Steps to Selectively enable tracing.
1.) Add a variable named V_START_TRACE to the package. This variable will be passed a value from scenario which will determine if you want to enable to trace or not. This variable type is EVALUATE and can have 2 values - TRUE or FALSE. You will have to check for the condition and depending on the condition you will take a path forward.
2.) Add 2 OS commands to the package - OS_START_TRACE and OS_END_TRACE
3.) Create 2 shell scripts (or bat files) - odi_start_trace.sh and odi_end_trace.sh with the following commands:
odi_start_trace.sh :-
sqlplus session - ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = TRUE;
odi_end_trace.sh :-
sqlplus session - ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = FALSE;
You need to invoke SQLPLUS sessions from the above shell scripts to enable/disable the oracle level tracing.
4.) Add the above shell scripts to the OS commands created in Step 2.
5.) Join the steps in the following order in the package :
V_START_TRACE (OK) ->OS_START_TRACE (OK) -> <<+Your Actual Integration Code+>>(OK) -> OS_END_TRACE
V_START_TRACE (KO) -> <<+Your Actual Integration Code+>>(OK)
The above KO variable statement doesnt start the trace if the evaluated value doesnt = TRUE. So this will let you do a selective trace.
6.) Create the scenario from the package and execute the scenario by passing it a value "TRUE" for variable V_START_TRACE.
Check the startscen.sh syntax, something like:
*>startscen.sh ... "GLOBAL.V_START_TRACE=TRUE"*
The above is a general solution for enabling trace for any RDBMS
If you need any more information, feel free to ping back.

Labwindows recompiles files when I switch from the development environment to another application

I am writing a labwindows driver, but having issues with the environment itself. I am able to compile the .c file for the driver, and my panels are working. I am having problems with labwindows recompiling the .c file even though nothing has changed. It is a random problem that I have seen before, but never managed to get around. The problem shows up in a variety of instances.
I.E. While in interactive execution, I can click on another application on the taskbar (internet explorer, email, etc.) and labwindows displays a message that the c file is being recompiled. Nothing in the file changed! Why does it try and recompile when it is simply losing focus? This is 'random'. Just when I think I have found a way to reliably reproduce the issue, it quits recompiling when I switch applications. I have tried playing with the build options, but haven't had any repeatable success. I even tried to enable the -o option, but is still recompiles the file. (maybe -o won't work on a driver since it won't build without a main?) I have even had issues with calling printf in a function during interactive execution. It recompiles the c file for no apparent reason right after the stdio window prints the message. At this point, the stdio window closes, and labwindows pops up the compiling message again. It kills my interactive session, and I have to redeclare all of my variables to continue checking out my driver.
I see the same issue randomly when I go back to the project from another application. (Click on labwindows in the taskbar, and it immediately compiles the c file.)
I have seen this in other projects, and it appears that the issue is limited to instrument drivers. When labwindows pops up the message that it is compiling files it is almost always a driver that is loaded as an instrument. I played with unloading the instrument but leaving the .fp in the project, but I don't think that worked. (It has been awhile since I tried to figure this out.) When working on a driver, it would be difficult to unload the .fp or not load the instrument anyway.
(I just clicked on labwindows in the taskbar to see if I left anything out. Labwindows popped up the message that it was compiling the c file. It appears that I can go back and forth between the labwindows icon in the taskbar and the cvi icon ~15-20 times and then labwindows will recompile the file. I even walked away from my computer for a couple of minutes, and it compiled when I came back and clicked on the labwindows icon.)
I am running labwindows 9.1 (but have seen this on 8 also)
The files are on a network drive.
(Could it be mcaffee or some network security stuff confusing labwindows?)

My pc is currently running Windows XP sp3.
I first saw this issue when I went from LabWindows 7.1? to 8.1? I am sure that I had the issue in 8.1
I was able to reproduce the issue in production on a pc running windows 2000. (Which is what I had at my desk previously, and had seen the issue.)
I asked another member of the test engineering group, and I am not the only one seeing the issue.
One of the earlier replies mentioned the auto save feature. When I went to production to see if I could reproduce the problem there, I opened CVI and explorer. I wanted to check the time-date stamp on the .c file that keeps recompiling. The time-date stamp was a day old, and did not change when the period of time for auto save was passed. (It probably would if I made changes but didn't save the file?) I was able to switch back and forth between the explorer window and cvi, and the file would recompile. I played with turning off the auto save, enabling the build status window, making the -o option compatible with cvi 5.0, displaying the build status column, etc. It appeared at one point that it had quit recompiling when switching between applications. I went back to my desk, and tried to match the settings, but never reached the same conclusion.
There is not anything special about the project I am working on. It is a labwindows driver for a pxi module. There are only three files in the project, the .c .h and .fp. The .c file keeps getting recompiled at seemingly random times. It is especially frustrating during interactive execution while testing my code/function panels. If I switch to another application and back, I almost always have to start over because compiling the file closes the interactive execution. I have to redeclare all of the variables, and re-run any of the setup panels that are required. (I have to open the DRM, load the module fpga/dac, and then I can run the panel I am actually trying to test.) I have similar problems when trying to troubleshoot with printf statements, as it seems to recompile when focus switches to the stdio window. I have resorted to a test project, where I can add the function calls and skip having to do any work via interactive execution.
I haven't been able to find anyone outside of where I work reporting the same issue. Maybe it has something to do with IT/viruscan/etc. It is definately a strange issue.
(I have switched back to CVI several times while writing this, and the .c filed recompiled about 20% of the time. At one point, I had left the build options dialog open when switching back and forth. I did not change any options, but the .c file recompiled when I closed the options window?)
Occasionally, when I see what appears to be the recompile message flash up, my interactive execution does not halt. I.E. I don't have to redeclare my variables. It is sometimes hard to see what the message says, you just see a dialog box pop up and disapear really quickly.

Color Cast Only On Mac Generated jpg files When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 Preview

Hi,
( Issue With Cs3 Bridge Viewing Jpgs - Getting Colour Cast on the Mac Generated Jpgs Files Only When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 On PC )
Using CS3 creative suite Mac & PC and viewing all files on the PC.
We have psd files when viewing in bridge they are ok and save jpgs via PS3 both on the Mac & PC off the same PSD file that we started with.
But when viewing these jpg files in bridge we get a red cast only when viewing from the Mac generated files from the same PSD we started with.
When we open the jpg files up in Photoshop all of them are ok we no issues only when viewing in bridge we get the red cast.
All PSD files have the same information content:
Bit depth
Colour space
Pixel size
Why are we getting this happening.
Thnx

Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
Thanks again,
Kieren
EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
Many thanks!

Generate trace file for a certain transaction

Experts,
I am trying to generate a trace file for a certain transaction for a period of time.
I used tx st03 > transaction profile > double click on transaction and am able to get a list for the day. How do I set the date to generate for the month for example?
Thanks,

Since you post the question in security forum, not peformance or platform forum, I guess are looking for system auditing function.
then SM19/SM20 might be the choice, you can read through

Hi Iqbal,
In Tr. ST03 itself, you have three ranges. Day, Week and Month.
Just select the month. Expand it. Select which month you want.
Then check Transaction Profile. It should give you the details for the whole month.
