RE: What userid to run dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session from?

Hi Cherie,

This is explained in the Q&A part of my web site (now reorganized by topic areas rather than by date).
Have a look in the SQL Optimization section towards the end.

I have been able to successfully run
dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session from sqlplus prompt as system user. I put in the correct SID and serial number and
TRUE
and everything seems fine. Response is that it appears to have run correctly.
Then I run it again with FALSE to turn off trace. Response is that everything
seems
to be fine. But when I go to the udump directory, no trace file has been
generated.

I know it is the correct udump directory because if I turn on trace for my
session and
run a query and then turn off trace, a trace file is correctly generated in the
same
udump directory.

Why might I not be getting a trace file generated on the session that is running?
Do I have to log in as the user that was running the job in order to run dbms_system.
I was running from SYSTEM.

Or is it something else?

Thanks,

Cherie
