Re: Where's my trace file?

Another option (from about 8.1.6) is to

    alter session set tracefile_identifier = 'my_text';

The trace file name will then hold 'my_text'. Moreover, every time you issue the command with a new bit of text, the session will open a new text file (and the last line of the old text file will also reference it)

The current 'traceid' appears in v$process - though there seem to be a couple of bugs with it in earlier versions.

This doesn't work for multi-threaded server, unfortunately, although trying it on a 9.2. system I found that the s000 trace migrated from the bdump directory to the udump directory as a side-effect.
