Purge trace file

Hi,
On 4.6C release, the dev_w5 file of DVEMGS00 takes 59gb of disk space.
Is it possible to purge it ?
Thanks

Go to SM50, select the work process and then from the menu select Process -> Trace -> Reset -> Work Process File.
Also check weather if the trace is turned on the wp.
Thanks,
Naveed

Oracle 11g ADR Purged trace file list

In Oracle 11g, how do I get list of files automatically purged by ADR ?
Is there any data dictionary view or physical file which keeps track of trace files deleted by ADR ?

See if the following post helps:
Oracle 11g ADR Automatic Diagnostic Repository

Do trace files need to be purged in Oracle 11g DB

We have the Oracle 11g database setup. I have a query as to if it is required to purge the trace files found in adump, Bdump & Cdump administration file subdirectories or there is automatic log rotation of the trace files?
I hope my query is clear that if it is required to manually purge the trace files or is there an automatic log rotation for the trace files.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

starting with 11g and ADRCI there are two Parameters which controls the purging of old log and / or trace files:
SHORTP_POLICY (default 720 hours) and LONGP_POLICY (default 8720 hours). As with the Default most traces and logs stay an entire year it might be worth changing those values like follows:
adrci> set control (SHORTP_POLICY = 168)
adrci> set control (LONGP_POLICY = 720)
you can verify the current values with
adrci> show control
Unfortunately those parameters are only valid for components managed with ADR (Automatic Diagnostic Repository). So adump or any log locations under $ORACLE_HOME are still not managed automatically.

Need help deleting trace files

Hi,
I am new to Oracle RAC and I need to get rid of trace files since they are growing too big. I have one that is 22Gigs and I only have 60 Gigs available right now on that drive. I want to know if I can delete the file manually using the rm command.
My trace files are in: /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/.../.../trace
The file I am concerned is called: "linux1_pz99_13299.trc" and "linux1_pz99_13299.trm"
I am using Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Is that really going to work?
It is my understanding (supported by some inconclusive observations and experiments) that once a trace file grows beyond about 8 kilobytes Oracle will hang onto it in a death grip. You may delete it but Oracle will still have the file handle open and be writing to it.
If the database is running on a Windows platform then an equivalent script will not even give the illusion of deleting the file.
It used to be the case that switching trace file output to a different directory would cause Oracle to release the active trace files but now the trace directory is part of the ADR heirarchy so switching is a more global and more intrusive operation and could interfere with other diagnostics.
You may have to rely on ADRCI's "purge" command unless there is a PL/SQL equivalent.
I shall be very interested to see what others have to say.

How to stop the generating the trace file

Hi Gurus,
My client requirement is stop the trace file generation in our database.
How can I achieve this ?
what are the impact of the database , if I do the same in our database.
Thanks,
Tippu

Does this database have a four-digit version?
And which trace file. In some cases you won't be able to stop it, and/or you'd better institute maintenance routines to purge them regularly, or you will loose diagnostic info.

Thank YouThis question is more from Unix rather than Oracle.
If you are using 11g, then why cant you go for using ADRCI utility, it can manage and trim the trace files

Remove the line alter session set sql_trace=false and just exit/disconnect. The explain plain is contained in the STAT lines in the trace file and are only written when the cursor closes. If you turn off tracing before the cursor closes the STAT lines will not get written.

How to create the trace file using run_report_object at runtime

Dear All
using :
Oracel Application Server 10g
Oracle Database 11g
Windows XP/sp3
I'm using run_report_object to call a report inside the form. THis report is running OK from reports builder, however it's too slow when run from Application server.
How Can I create a trace file (at runtime) that contains the time spent in sql and formating the layout of the report ??
Here is My code :
repid := find_report_object('report5');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'INVOICE.REP');
v_url :='paramform=no';
v_url := v_url||' FROM_NO=' || :PRINT_BLOCK.FROM_NO ;
v_url := v_url ||' TO_NO=' || :PRINT_BLOCK.TO_NO ||' FROM_DATE=' || v_from_date ||' TO_DATE='|| v_to_date ||' NO_DATE=' ;
v_url := v_url ||:PRINT_BLOCK.NO_DATE||' IDENT=' ||:PRINT_BLOCK.IDENT_NO||' REPORT_HEADING='''||V_REPORT_HEADING||'''' ;
v_url := v_url||' COMPANY_NO='||:global.company_no;
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,v_url);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,:GLOBAL.INV_REPORT_SERVER_NAME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
V1:='/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1);
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?server='||REPORT_SERVER_NAME,'_blank');
END IF;
Thanks a lot

Slow running reports often are not the result of a flawed report, but rather a flawed configuration. For example:
1. If you call your reports (from Forms) via the default or inProcess Reports Server, often because startup time is slow, it will appear that it took too long for the report to be delievered. Using a stand-alone Rep Server is the preferred way to do this.
2. If your Forms application makes numerous calls to RRO (RUN_REPORT_OBJECT), this can tend to result in what might appear as a memory leak (although it is not). The result is delayed processing because of the excessive memory use. This problem has been overcome in Forms/Reports 11 by the use of JVM pooling. However in v10 enabling "6i compatibility" mode is the way to overcome the issue. See Note 266073.1
3. If the report runs fine from the Builder and it is connecting to the same db as when you run it from App Server, the issue is unlikely a db problem. However, if you want to look anyway, enable sqlnet tracing.
4. To enable Reports tracing and investigate other tuning options, refer to the Reports 10 documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_tune.htm
Almost forgot to mentioned this one....
If you are using a v11 db with App Server 10, you will probably want to consider reviewing Note 1099035.1 as it discusses an issue related to performance with such a configuration.

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);
stmt1 varchar2(100);
BEGIN
begin
select username into v_user
from v$session
where sid= v_sid and
serial# = v_serial#;
exception
when NO_DATA_FOUND then
raise no_session_found;
end;
dbms_output.put_line('Tracing Started for User: '|| v_user);
dbms_output.put_line('Tracing Start Time: '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,true);
if seconds is null then
duration := 60;
else
duration := seconds;
end if;
dbms_lock.sleep(duration);
dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(v_sid,v_serial#,false);
dbms_output.put_line ('Tracing Stop Time: '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
select value into dump_dest
from v$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:
SQL> exec start_trace(118,6243,30);
Tracing Started for User: SVCWRK
Tracing Start Time: 09-26-2011 16:28:29
Tracing Stop Time: 09-26-2011 16:28:59

But the trace file is not generated.

Will try using DBMS_MONITOR.
Thanks again.

Ora-00604 error while taking tkprof of a trace file

Sorry i am giving the full erro but omitting exact table names
Hi ,
I have an error while taking tkprof of a trace file.
I gave the following command ---
tkprof <source.trc> <file.prc> sys=no sort=exeela,fchela,prsela explain= /
error is --

i searched for the error and in oracle forum i found a solution .. http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=844287&tstart=0
but after giving the table option it is giving the same error
tkprof <source.trc> <file.prc> sys=no sort=exeela,fchela,prsela table=old_schema.plan_table explain= /
it again gave the same error.
In both two cases it gives elapsed time results,library cache missing etc but before giving this it throws ORA-00604 error as stated above
then i again correct the tkprof statement ..
tkprof <source.trc> <file.prc> sys=no sort=exeela,fchela,prsela table=new_schema.plan_table explain= /
say this schema name here i used is dummy schema name.
My question is did this error came as we had not sufficient previlages in the old_schema but that previleges we have in new_schema?

Please post here full error message, there should be lines with ORA-00604 and then some other ORA as well.
And are there any trace files generated during this error?
And as You can see from error description, probably You will have to contact with Oracle support in order to solve this case:
oerr ora 00604
00604, 00000, "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"
// *Cause: An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement
// (a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
// *Action: If the situation described in the next error on the stack
// can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.

Hi
oracle creates sql trace files on server side, what are possible and best ways of sharing those files with end users? is it possible to create them on client side instead?

Using shared directory. Use the parameters dump to point to it

How to find out the Trace file

Hi Dba's
I need to find out the trace file with the Request id. how can i find out it?
Thanks

There are many ways to create a trace file in the apps. Pl provide details on how you enabled trace, as that will determine where the trace file is created.Concurrent requests trace files are always created under USER_DUMP_DEST directory.

Name of trace file from trace enabled concurrent program

Hi all,
I am looking for a sql script or method to find the name of a trace file in udump for trace enabled concurrent programs. I know the trace files show 11i logon (user_name from fnd_user) in the name of the trace file but I am looking for a sql that would give the exact name of the raw trace file with request id as input.
I have 11.5.10.2.
Any help?
