Trace file size reached the max size

Hi All,
This morning we had a issue with the oracle trace file. When I looked the alert log, i figured that there was an error saying Trace file reached max size. Question is what happens to the processes that tries to write to the trace file when the trace file was full?
My thinking is, the process, that tries to write to trace file, will hang until the trace file size is incresed. Am I correct. Please share you thoughts
Thanks
--

Process will continue, it will not hang. Trace information will not be written once the trace file limit is reached.

Trace file size is huge

HI Experts,
In my production database one trace file alone getting created in huge size, could you please make me aware of the reason behind this and solution to this.
Path:/oracle/admin/proddb/bdump
proddb_j000_17828.trc /5G/
Regards,

You can limit trace file size using MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE db parameter if you have a free space problem too.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams116.htm#REFRN10103
But of course this wont solve your original issue. Try to analyze content of the trace file and try to solve the base issue.

Trace file size

Hi,
I have ECc 6.0 System with DB2 Database
I have only ABAP instance. Please let me know of how to view/change the maximum SQL trace file size generated from ST05
I checked the forums and it refers to the following link, which says i should have JAVA

How to read trace files alerted in the alert.log file

Hello,
My alert.log file indicated multiple trace files to review. How to read these trace files to understand the cause of errors. Do I open the trace files with vi and do a search for 'ORA-' error. Are there tools to read and understand trace files. Thank you.

It depends what kind of trace file it is.
You can use vi or other text editing tool to open the trace file. The trace file usually provides more detailed information when you have ORA- errors in alert.log. It's also very helpful for Oracle support when troubleshooting.

Get the session trace files and also the TKPROF reports for storedprocedure

Hi ,
I am trying to find out the bottlenecks on a storedprocedure, which does a insert into a table, where the target table has lot of indexes/constraints, so i want to see, which indexes/constraints is causing the problem. so in order to do I want to get the session trace files and also the TKPROF reports to see the bottlenecks for a oracle stored procedure,
Could you please give us the list of steps to get the tracefiles and tkprof reports.

Thanks for input, i am using oracle10g standard edition. i dont think i have these tools available (DBMS_PROFILER or DBMS_HPROF). Did you even bother to try the following?

I understand it would be too much to expect you to actually Read The Fine Manual
I am using bulk collect for all in my storedprocedure to insert the rows into a big table. In order to perform analysis on this bulk collect which tool will help me to identify the bottlenecks .
I want to compare background session properties for both runs (like inserting the data with indexes/constraints vs without indexes/constraints). please let me know..I am willing to bet you the problem/slowness is on the SELECT side & not the INSERT!

How to stop the generation of the trace files relate to the particular user

Dear All,
Please advice:
Is it possible to stop the trace file created by a user for a particular job (sql/exp)
For example :
Trace files create whenever the user run the sql/exp command from his application server.
This will created a huge files and caused the file system getting full (not in bdump but it is generation in application user home directory).
Is there any method to stop the generation of the trace files relate to the particular user base on that job.
thanks,
Shanoj

Dear SHANOJ
This trigger will created for that specific user by dba or person who have sysdba privs. it will triggered at the login time of that user and alter the sqltrace.
for example we have write one trigger in our database for every ddl operation in database.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "SYS"."SYS$DDLTRIG" after DDL on database
declare
v_machinename VARCHAR2(100);
v_osuser VARCHAR2(100);
v_dbuser VARCHAR2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);
v_program VARCHAR2(100);
v_instance VARCHAR2(100);
v_date VARCHAR2(100);
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'mm-dd-yyyy HH24:MI:SS'),user,sys_context('userenv','OS_
USER'),sys_context('userenv','HOST'), (select instance_name from v$instance),(se
lect program from v$session where sid = (select distinct sid from v$mystat)),(se
lect machine from v$session where sid = (select distinct sid from v$mystat)) int
o v_date,v_dbuser,v_osuser,v_host,v_instance,v_program,v_machinename from dual;
IF ora_sysevent = 'DROP' or ora_sysevent = 'REVOKE' or ora_sysevent = 'GRANT' or
ora_sysevent = 'CREATE' or ora_sysevent = 'TRUNCATE' or ora_sysevent = 'ALTER'
Then
insert into ddl_log_new(v_date,v_dbuser,v_osuser,v_host,v_instance,v_program,v_m
achinename,V_EVENT,V_OBJECT_NAME,V_OBJECT_TYPE,V_OBJECT_OWNER) values (v_date,v_
dbuser,v_osuser,v_host,v_instance,v_program,v_machinename,ora_sysevent,ora_dict_
obj_name,ora_dict_obj_type,ora_dict_obj_owner);
END IF;
END;
i hope above example will helpful for u,
Regards

The reporting service web service connection pool reached the max pool size

I got a problem that it throw an exception "The timeout peroid elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connection was in use and max pool size was reached."
The satuation is our service use 15 thread to render report, but sometimes we met such exception I list above. I didn't change any configuration in rsreportserver.config, and it seems the connection to reportserver database from reporting service web
service was not disposed.
Is there any configuration I can modify to fix this issue?

Hi Dexter,
In your case, we can try to increasing the size of the connection pool to resolve the issue. By default, the Max Pool Size is 100. You can refer to the similar issue below:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c57c0432-c27b-45ab-81ca-b2df76c911ef/timeout-expired-the-timeout-period-elapsed-prior-to-obtaining-a-connection-from-the-pool?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
Since the issue is related with ADO.NET. I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Capping dev_ms trace file size

hi - i'm wondering if anyone knows a way to help. we have been asked by SAP to run our msg server at an elevated trace level (trace level 3 - we set it from SMMS). this writes out a huge amt of data to the dev_ms trace file.
the default trace file (dev*) size, per the rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING param default is "on, 10m" (i.e. 10mb).
that applies to "all" the dev* trace files obviously.
w/ our elevated dev_ms trace set, it's overwrapping in ~3 min ...so between dev_ms.old and dev_ms, we never have more than ~10 min of logs kept at any one time.
the pt of us running at this elevated dev_ms trace level is so we can capture (save off) the trace file and send to SAP the next time our msg server crashes.
our SAP file system mountpoint /usr/sap/<SID> is limited in size...and by setting rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING value to a higher value it affects all the dev* files, not just the 1 file i really care about increasing the capped file size on (dev_ms).
**QUESTION*: does any one know a way i could keep dev_ms capped at a large value like 100mb yet keep all the other dev files at the normal 10mb default? thanks in advance

1. Increase rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING to 100MB.
2. Set (SM51) > Select All Processes > Menu > Process > Trace > Active Components > Uncheck everything and set trace level to 1.
3. Menu > Process > Trace > Dispatcher > Change Trace Level > Set to 2
Wouldn't this essentially just increase dev_ms to 100MB while leaving other dev* trace files to not log anything?

Tablespace getting full quite often [cannot extend tbs], need a script to add data files on reaching the threshold!!

Good morning Techies,
I have a OBIEE environment where developers work on continuous data loads and the tablespaces are filled up quite often throwing cannot extend.
I have a request from the customer to generate some script or automatic adding up of datafiles.
Can someone here help with the ways of automizing or easing this situation through some script where it ask the users for the path and DB file size etc and creates a datafile with the inputs.
Or advise any other ways to handle the situation.
Regards,
RanG

Oracle does not but you can write your own job to execute when you reach certain threshold. You can also do this in a GRID so whenever the metric threshold reached, it executes your procedure. Make sure you check your file system space before adding a datafile.
With BIGFILE tablespace, you might need to change your backup policies.
Check these link as well:

Trace file created for the wrong session

DB version : 10.2.0.3.0
OS version: Solaris 5.10
2 node RAC
Using DBMS_MONITOR.SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE, I have been trying to trace an oracle session spawned by a C++ application.
So, i determined which instance this session is connected by querying gv$session. I logged in as SYS in that instance's Node and then issued
execute dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(4371,98124, true, false);After enabling, i saw new A trace file being generated. But this trace is actually tracing SYS's session which executed dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable and not the session (4371,98124) !!! I tested few basic queries in SYS's session like
select sysdate from dualAnd i can see all these queries appearing in the trace file. What could be the cause of this issue?
I have noticed that
SHARED_SERVERS = 1 on both nodes. Is this causing this weird issue? For tracing, If i disable SHARED_SERVERS using
alter system set SHARED_SERVERS = 0
will it cause any connection problems for the client applications because of their tnsnames.ora file setting?

Thank you DBMS_DIRECT.
trace is enabled only on the instance to which the caller is connected
So, how do i enable tracing for sessions spawned by Java or C++ applications.
According to the documentation, i can use DBMS_MONITOR for tracing applications
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm
Your 2 node RAC has two instances (e.g. INST1 and INST2). My understanding of that is that with the above command, to be able to trace session 123 connected to INST1, your SYS need to be connected to INST1. To be able to trace session 456 connected to INST2, your SYS need to be connected to INST2.

Alter table reaching the max number of char 4000, CLOB? NCLOB?

I have a column is a table defined as a VARCHAR2(4000)
I try to alter the table
alter table sybaapc
MODIFY SYBAAPC_EXTRACURRICULAR VARCHAR2(5000)but it give me this error
ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
I want the users to be able to enter more information on that column.
It seems that 4000 is the max we are in Oracle 10g
can I changed to CLOB or nclob, we already have data in that table?
What are the implications of changing it to clob or nclob,

Thats becuase the maximum character length for a table column is 4000.
Alternatively you can:
SQL> create table test_1 (col1 VARCHAR2(4000))
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into test_1 values(RPAD('*',4000,'*'));
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter table test_1 modify (col1 clob);
alter table test_1 modify (col1 clob)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22858: invalid alteration of datatype
SQL> alter table test_1 add(col2 clob);
Table altered.
SQL> update test_1 set col2 = col1;
1 row updated.

You can download from here:

There is no such thing as maximum number of download attempts unless you are talking about maximum # of times trying to enter the password.

Lite 10g DB File Size Limit

Hello, everyone !
I know, that Oracle Lite 5.x.x had a database file size limit = 4M per a db file. There is a statement in the Oracle® Database Lite 10g Release Notes, that db file size limit is 4Gb, but it is "... affected by the operating system. Maximum file size allowed by the operating system". Our company uses Oracle Lite on Windows XP operating system. XP allows file size more than 4Gb. So the question is - can the 10g Lite db file size exceed 4Gb limit ?
Regards,
Sergey Malykhin

I don't know how Oracle Lite behave on PocketPC, 'cause we use it on Win32 platform. But ubder Windows, actually when .odb file reaches the max available size, the Lite database driver reports about I/O error ... after the next write operation (sorry, I just don't remember exact error message number).
Sorry, I'm not sure what do you mean by "configure the situation" in this case ...

Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time

I have done a thorough search online (w/google) trying several combinations of words but I seem to be the only person on the planet with this error. I guess I will try to remake the project but I don't think it will fix the problem. I also will update my OS to 10.4.10, anyways here is the the error message.
"Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time"
I just bought and installed iLife 08 and the 8.1 update for Garageband. I have a 3 hr and 50 track on the time line and I have added chapter marks with 16k pics. The original combined track size (wav files) did exceed 2GB but I edited the files in itunes (to mono wav files) and swapped in the new files so that the max file size should only be 1.5GB. I still get the error message above when I try to export the podcast to disk using AAC w/Mono Podcast setting. Your help is appreciated.

I am now the third person in the world to get this error message, except my GB project is a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes long. I've outputted longer projects before and never got this error before. It's a new one to me, and frustrating. How exactly am I supposed to choose a "shorter bounce time" if there is no explanation anywhere in Appleworld of what a bounce time is or how to set it shorter?
Again, I'm not doing anything different with this project than others that shared successfully, and the dialog box estimates my outputted file size to be approx. 100 MB.
Can anybody help me get through this error blockage? Please?
