Trace Files 11g (Space Issue)

friends, we are running 11g (11.1.0.7.0) database in our environment. Currently our OS slice is facing space related issues due to huge number of trace files generation. Please share any helpful note/idea.
Regards,
Irfan Ahmad

please see following information against trace related parameters:
log_archive_trace     3     0     0
sql_trace     1     FALSE     FALSE
sec_protocol_error_trace_action     2     TRACE     TRACE
tracefile_identifier     2
trace_enabled     1     TRUE     TRUE
any idea.

ZFS File system space issue

Hi All,
Kindly help how to resolve ZFS File system space issue. I have deleted nearly 20 GB but File system size remains the same. Kindly advice on it.
Thanks,
Kumar

The three reasons that I'm aware of that causes deleting files not to return space are 1) the file is linked to multiple names 2) deleting files which are still open by a process and 3) deleting files which are backed up by a snapshot. While it is possible you deleted 20GB in multiply linked and/or open files, I'd guess snapshots to be most likely case.
For multiple "hard" links, you can see the link count (before you delete the file) in the "ls -l" command (the second field). If it is greater than one, deleting the file won't free up space. You have to delete all file names linked to the file to free up the space.
For open files, you can use the pfiles command to see what files a process has open. The file space won't be recovered until all processes with a file open close it. Killing the process will do the job. If you like to use a big hammer, a reboot kills everything.
For snapshots: Use the "zfs -t snapshot" command and look at the snapshots. The space used by the snapshot indicates how much space is held by the snapshot. Deleting the snapshot will free up space unless the space is still being held by another snapshot. To free space held by a file, you have to delete all snapshots which contain that file.
Hopefully, I got all of this right.

Too many trace files 11g

Thanks for taking my question!
I just installed 11g and I have a ton of .trc and .trm files. A trc file and trm file is created for just about everything - even Rman backups. I prefer these jobs to show in the alert log not independent trc files.
Has anyone experienced this issue with 11g? Is there a way to stop the trace files from taking over:)
Thanks, Kahtie

There's no way to stop,but to maintain ADR (Automatic Diagnostic Repository) :

Can some one help me to stop these trace generation.
is there any way to find the cause for these trace?
Thanks in adv...

Hi;
Please check who enable trace. Please see:
How to audit users who enabled traces?
check concurrent programs first
*from the screen
*F11, then select the trace, then Ctrl+F11
Concurrent > program > define
open the form, press F11 (query mode), select the trace, then (ctrl + f11) this should return all concurrent programs which have trace enabled

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.

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 ?

Trace files generated for every session in 11g

Hi
I have two databases - both 11.1.0.7, both on RHEL5
Database A runs on Server A
Database B runs on Server B
Both installation of 11g and each database are new installations.
On Database A a trace file is being created for every session in ADR_HOME.../trace.
On Database B - this is not happening
The problem I have is Database A. As every session connection creates a trace file (or 2 - being *.trc and *trm), at the end of the day we have 1000's of unnecessry trace files.
A trace file is created for every user - SYS, SYSTEM, application users, etc... It's being created immediately - even if no SQL statements are run in the session.
I've compared the init.ora parameters running in each database - and can find no differences. btw - SQL_TRACE is set to FALSE.
Any ideas why a trace file is being generated for every session on Database A? And how to switch this off?
TIA
Regards
Paul

What type of content is in generated trace files? Is it SQL trace or something different?
Have you any AFTER LOGON trigger? It can be checked with:
col text format a100
select name, text
from dba_source
where name in (select trigger_name from dba_triggers where triggering_event like 'LOGON%')
order by name, line

Excessive trace files in 11G on AIX 6.1

Hello friends,
I have a few new Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7) databases running on IBM P560's, AIX 6.1.
After a few weeks of running these databases, I've noticed an excessive amount of trace files generated in the $ORACLE_BASE/diag/.../trace directory for various background processes and wondered if I might have a parameter set incorrectly. Note that there are no errors noted or references to the trace files in the alert logs, and I'm seeing the same behavior on two separate similar servers and databases.
I recall on HP-UX, setting ASYNC IO will cause thousands of trace files to be generated, but this seems new with 11g since we are not getting the trace files in our 10G environment.
For every trace file, there is also a 'trm' file.
E.g.,
DBAtst_dbrm_172144.trc
DBAtst_dbrm_172144.trm
The trm file is a binary file, and the trc file is ascii.
Inside of the trace file, the contents are similar to:

Don Burleson has a great web page addressing trace files in 11G, but it doesn't mention anything about excessive trace files.
http://www.praetoriate.com/t_debugging_adr_monitoring_tools.htm
I'm concerned that something is wrong and I should not be getting all these trace files. Plus, they will eventually fill up my disks if I don't keep them pruned down.
Thanks.

According to an article on Metalink, this is not a bug. This is what was posted on metalink
"Solution:
The bug 9056228 was closed as 'Not a bug'.
The messages are expected behavior due to the way the code is written. According to Development, these are not errors but some information Oracle dumps into trace files.
Customers need not to worry about anything about these messages. These are expected.
As a corrective action, these traces can be deleted at any time or ignored. "
I hope this helps.

11g trace files

Hi all,
In my production database the trace file is occupying over 40gb of space. can I delete it to save space?
It is of the name PRD_mrp0_24180.trc.
Please help.
Thanks.

can I delete it to save space?Solution is both OS & application dependent.
If application holds the file (handle) OPEN, Windows will prevent another session from messing with the file
& *NIX will fake you out leave file untouched until application CLOSE the file.

11g 11.1.1.4.0 premgen space issue

I had 11.1.1.3.0 installled in XP-2.8 GHZ (core 2) 3GB machine and it was running fine with
-Xms512m -Xmx1024m PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Then I have installed 11.1.1.4.0 and statred getting 'could not allocate heap memory to JVM' so I have chnaged the setting to
-Xms512m -Xmx768m PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Then I got 'premgen-space' issue repetedly so change to
-Xms512m -Xmx768m PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
or -Xms512m -Xmx768m PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
But still I am getting this premgen-space issue after every 10-15 minutes hence unable to work.
Guru's pleas suggest for best JVM memory setting.
Thanks,
Biltu

When configuring PermGenSpace you must be aware that this is taken from the HeapSize (physical RAM does not count). Things get difficult if the PermGenSpace equals the MaxheapSize. A good setting is -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.
Since you run the Sun JDK, you could give jvisualvm a try. My tip is to get the plugins and use the VisualGC one to monitor the memory.
