Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on Solaris 2.8

developer want to user udump/*.trc file generated by setting sql_trace=true to do some debugging. the permission of those trace files originally generated is
-rw-r-----, since the developers have no access to oracle:dba, so I did 'chmod +r *' to to all files under udump in order for them to access. what is weird is after the chmod, some of the .trc files are created as -rw-r--r-- but others are still -rw-r-----. what i found is for all processes with pid 20xxx, their trc files are good, ie. -rw-r--r--, but pid 22xxx, 23xxx, the permission of the trace files they generated is still -rw-r-----.

Any one as any insight on this.

Your help is greated appreciated.
julia.

When you do chmod +r * , it changes the permissions on the existing files only, not on the new trace files generated.

You could set the undocumented instance parameter _trace_files_pubic=true , which causes generation of trace files with global read permissions (-rw-r--r-- ) .

Thanks a lot. How come there are so many undocumented stuff. Is there anywhere I can go for all or most of these undoced things?

Thanks again,
Julia

thats Oracle for you :-)

there are 540 of them in 9.2 !

select ksppinm
from x$ksppi
where substr(ksppinm,1,1) = '_';

should show you those... Use them at your own risk ! In general,they are meant to be used under the advice of ORacle support.
