    Hi,

    I recently set the deadlock event by altering the system (not in the init.ora). How do I find whether the event is still in effect?

    This is the command I used to set the event.
    "alter system set events '60 trace name errorstack level 3;"

    Hi Jm:

    Thanks for the response. I tried the PL/SQL block changing the index from 1..10999, but got nothing.

    I added the following line to the init.ora
    event="60 trace name errorstack level 3;name systemstate level 10"

    Shutdown and restarted the DB.

    connect sys/pwd@dev ;

    set serveroutput on ;

    declare
    event_level number;
    begin
    for i in 1..10999 loop
    dbms_system.read_ev(i,event_level);
    if (event_level > 0) then
    dbms_output.put_line('Event '||to_char(i)||' set at level '||
    to_char(event_level));
    end if;
    end loop;
    dbms_output.put_line('Done') ;
    end;
    /

    result:
    -------
    Done

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    Any Ideas????

    Sorry, I've never used the provided script and currently I have no database to test it. Based on the date in the copyright of the script I'd say it was created for Oracle7. Maybe something in the definition of the DBMS_SYSTEM or some other internal object involved has changed since....

    Hi, I got my Answer from Jonathan Lewis of http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk

    (for those who are interested, following is his response)
    //
    I think you may find that the read_ev call used
    in dbms_system works only for event name CONTEXT.

    An alternative approach is to invoke
    ORADEBUG dump events N
    where N is
    1 for session
    2 for process
    4 for system

    Use svrmgrl, or sqlplus with connect internal as sysdba
    in your version of Oracle.
