Hi,
I couldn't understand what type of alert log file and trace files u need. But we generate trace file when we enable tracing of sessions of database wide tracing, by specifying certain init parameters.
OR by alerting the sql session and enabling tracing.
Please let me know in detail what kind of trace files u need.
Thanks

I am totally lost, alert files and trace files are created by Oracle but you are saying you want to create them yourself....?!

Figured it myself. Altered the init.ora file and updated the destination for trace files. Alerts were alredy running
Thanks a lot
