    SQL Trace file name

    Hi,

    My Oracle version is 10gR2 and server is HP Unix. I wants to enable sql trace file for some oracle sessions,to find the trace file generated in udump, We need to have OS Process Id of that session. But in HP Unix, v$session.process & v$process.spid is not showing the exact os process id. What I've to do to find out the exact trace file generated for that session in HP Unix?

    Thanks...

    Talking Are you sure?

    Are you sure? V$SESSION works for me:
    Code:
    SQL> host uname -a
    HP-UX hpux5 B.11.11 U 9000/800 HP-UX
    
    SQL> host ps
       PID TTY       TIME COMMAND
     27447 pts/0     0:01 sqlplus
      1136 pts/0     0:00 ps
      3647 pts/0     0:00 ksh
    
    SQL> select sid, username, osuser, process, module
      2    from v$session
      3   where osuser='oracle'
      4     and module like 'sqlplus%'
      5  /
    
            SID USERNAME      OSUSER        PROCESS      MODULE
    ----------- ------------- ------------- ------------ ------------------------------
             22 SYS           oracle        27447        sqlplus@hpux5 (TNS V1-V3)

    It should work.
    Enable trace and execute this query.

    select a.sid,a.serial#,a.osuser,a.machine,a.program,b.sql_text
    from v$session a,v$sqlarea b,v$process c
    where a.sql_hash_value=b.hash_value
    and a.serial# !=1
    and a.status='ACTIVE'
    and b.users_executing=1
    and a.paddr=c.addr
    AND A.SID NOT IN (select sid
    from v$session
    where audsid = userenv('sessionid'))
    and c.spid=&spid

    You should see process ID in V$session defintely it should be there.

    But just for quick solution for your trace file name issue you can use below.

    alter session set tracefile_identifier='name_you_like';

    your tracefile should get generated as something like

    sid_ora_process_id_name_you_like.trc

    I have not good English. "no good idea " meaning "This no best idea, but it is easy ".
    note:udump only storage user trc file.
    1 you doing trc sql.
    2 you into udump's folder, you saw is create trc file, the trc file is create time is last.

    This might be a good answer but for a different question.
