RE: SQLTrace

Hi Dave,
Pl change permission on the existing trace files that belong to the user. Add _trace_files_public = true in the init.ora file and bounce the db to make it effective. All future trace files will have public read access. However, tkprof should already be public executable. They don't need oracle's password to run it.
More info? Check Metalink for Note:1022776.6
