Is there any way to differentiate between normal trace files and
different Session's SQL enabled trace files which generate in udump folder on Operating System?
I want to have a script which distinguishes between different
Session's SQL enable trace files and normal trace files.
So we can know that these files are generated due to enabling sql trace
utility.

Thanks in Advance.

Try to grep for "alter session set sql_trace = true";

grep -il 'alter session set sql_trace' *.trc

Please don't tell me you are running on Windows. There must be similar utilities available for each and every operating system.

dear I am using Windows Professional Server not having any experience of using unix.

Could you please discuss this related to windows O/S.?

As well as what does these commands actually do?

grep -il 'alter session set sql_trace' *.trc

alter session set tracefile_identifier = '__TAGGED__';

If you are looking for someone elses trace file, then you could find the sid & serial# of that particular user from SQL*Plus and use the following:

For example, if a session has sid of 14 and serial# of 39:

findstr /i /c:"SESSION ID:(14.39)" d:\oracle\admin\dbname\udump\*.trc

You could also issue the following select and look for the trace file that has this number in the filename.

select spid
	from v$process p, v$session s
	where s.paddr = p.addr
	and s.username = '<username_of_other_session>';

SPID
----
2422

For example, you would look for file ora9i_ora_2422.trc.

As I discussed, Suppose two persons perform sql tracing for their sessions.
Is there a automize way to getting know that these two trace files are generated due to invoke SQL Tracing and then tag their tracefiles.
Obviously these two persons issue the Alter Session command for enabling SQL Trace theirselves.

Is thier a routine or something like that available that instead of these two users who perform their session trace, anautomize routine will tag their trace files to a particular name.So whenever I look at the userdump folder I can distinguish these files with each other.

Use "alter session set tracefile_identifier" as suggested by ebrian in this very same thread.

Nothing by default is available.
Either you search for the session/name manually
or
manually TAG the trace before the users are generating the trace (using alter session set trace file identifier).
