All, thanks for your prompt responses...I shall be glad if anyone can tell me if there is a way to trap this problem from an application....I agree with you all when you say that the information can be obtained from network log....but if there is a way to trap the same via an application, then that will answer my question....Clarifying certain things, X1 and X2 are two completely different databases (not the same copy) and both reside on two different servers....

Awaiting your response.
