• DB Oracle 10.2.0.4 generating a large number of trace file.

  Hi all
  
  We oracle 10.2.0.4 DB running on HP - UX PARISC system.
  Today, I saw this system of file with a binary oracle little drastically increases.
  
  on the descent of the cause, I found that there is generation of trace file every second in the directory BDUMP ranging from 500 KB to 2 MB.
  
  The no files generated today is
  
  $ pwd
  / cbsora1/Ora10g/OraHome1/RDBMS/log/bdump
  $
  $ ls - lrt | grep "Oct 20' | WC-l
  29606
  
  Tried to look in one of the trace files but failed to get the news.
  Here is the example output from the trace file.

  This is a known problem with 10.2.x.x on HP - UX with a certain operating system configuration, you must define DISK_ASYNCH_IO on false and perhaps FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS voice against zero.

• Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

  Question for Microsoft Support;
  I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you

  According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

  If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

  (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

  Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

  If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

  If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

• I just started using Lightroom 5 and I was wondering why I make a huge amount of "temporary files" in my pictures folder?

  I find a lot of cryptic files (temp files?) in my pictures folders whenever I use Lightroom. All this experience?

  I did research and just found out that it was adobe (of hundreds of them) preview files which were misdirected in the wrong folder. I've moved to a new folder and all is well.

  There is no trace file to your/home/oracle/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/looking4/looking4/trace/looking4_ora_4327, because the current user's session is not under the tracing. See the example below:

  So, in short, you get the trace file, if the current session is currently tracing.

• Cannot write trace files destined for the bottom dump in oracle 10 g

  Hi all
  
  Version of the OS: RHEL 5.7
  DB version: 10.2.0.4
  cluster: database node 2 RAC
  
  Today I faced a strange behavior for one of our production database. Its a database of 2 rac nodes. There is no automatic generation of trace files in the destination of bottom dump on the first node. I am able to see the second trace files in its context dump dest. But the strange behavior occurs on the first node. I see that alert logfile in the bottom dump dest. Despite an error that displays the generated trace file but no file is located in the bdump. Here is the error, but physically he no trace file is generated:
  

  Errors in file/oracle/db/admin / < sid > /bdump/ < sid >j0011558.trc:
  ORA-12012: error on auto run 94377 work
  ORA-12008: error path refresh materialized view

  can someone have any idea for this strange behavior. There is no script maintenance for the removal of trace files.

• Generation of Oracle Trace files for a session

  Hello
  
  I use oracle 10g (10.2.0.5) in RHEL5 server. I used the instruction exec dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session (147,3,TRUE); to draw a particular session. I am able to track successfully, but I created a new table in this session where I'm not able to find any statement of create table in the trace file generated, but I can find the insert statements that I made on the table newly created in the trace file.
  
  Is not recorded in the events of path of the DDL statements?

• Trace file generated not.

  Hey guys,.
  
  I am using oracle 10g and is trying to generate a trace file.
  
  Using sql_Plus I see that timed_statistics is set to true, max_dump_file_size is set to unlimited, and user_dump_dest is set to C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\ORCL\DUMP.
  
  I run the script in Oracle SQL Developer:
  
  
  ALTER session set sql_trace = true;
  /
  
  ... Block PL/SQL which I want to trace...
  
  /
  ALTER session set sql_trace = false;
  /
  
  
  After that this sql runs without error there is no file on my computer in the user_dump_dest. In fact the path under user_dump_dest does not exist yet. What I first create the path? I looking in the wrong place? I do something wrong when setting sql_trace?
  
  Thank you
  Ian

  The trace file is written to the database server.

• Trace file is not generated

  Hello
  
  I use Oracle 10 g Rel2.
  
  I'm trying to generate the trace for a session using DBMS_SYSTEM file.
  
  First of all, I used DBMS_SYSTEM. Procedure SET_SQL_TRACE_IN_SESSION to generate the trace for a session, but that file was generating trace udump directory files. Then I checked on the net and found that we cannot generate the trace file in this way for active sessions.
  
  Then I tried to use DBMS_SYSTEM. Procedure SET_ENV, same results. It also generates trace files?
  
  No idea why this is happening? In addition to around how long should I activate trace?
  
  
  
  
  Thanks in advance.

  It does not generate all trace file unless drawn session perform some activity.

  Agreed. but I thought that if OP do not have access to metalink then?

  In any case I not substitute me your answer.

  Oops. Sorry I did not read the lines below.

  You can turn simple trace for this particular session.
  Oracle will generate trace files (.trc) for each session where the value of SQL_TRACE = TRUE and write them to the USER_DUMP_DEST destination. That you can use tkprof to read the generated trace file.

  Kind regards

• Oracle trace files

  Salvation Group
  
  My file system becomes full with Oracle trace files where the binary files are installed, they are not the kind of trace generated when a request for a trace session, they contain information that I am not able to read that they are updated daily.
  
  The path where these files are: /oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/log/instancename_ora_8103.trc
  
  
  That contain these files?
  I can remove them to save space?
  I can't stop their generation?

  Thank you

  You can't stop their generation, or no sane person would want. If something goes wrong and you don't have them, you may be roasted.

  What you can do is delete them when they are no longer needed for the purpose of management.

• How to handle tables with a huge amount of data?

  Dear all
  
  I'll delevlop an application that using oracle 10g.
  I want to ask a question.
  Given that some of the tables in the oracle is likely to increase quickly.
  I fear that the huge amount of data can degrade the overall application performance.
  Users of this application need to read and write these tables frequently.
  
  Is it possible that if I create table dynamically per month on the program level?
  
  There the suggestion or advice? No question about the level of database or program
  
  Thank you
  
  Concerning
  Taka Wong

  This can be achieved by using the tables of compartmentalized, but for this you need to seprate license.

  Firefox uses a huge amount of memory on my computer. I continue to receive alerts from high memory usage. Can I do to solve this problem?

  300-400 MB is not huge.

  How much RAM do you have?
