Reading application context data from different session

Hello out there,

I'm looking for a way to read application context data as set by dbms_session.set_context from another session.

Is this possible? I have looked over the V$-Views but did not come upon a suitable one. Also the supplied PL/SQL packages seem not to be of any help.

The Oracle version is 9.2.0.7 on Windows.

Currently I'm circumventing the problem by using dbms_application_info.set_clientinfo to show some information in V$SESSION but I'm wondering if there is some more direct approach.

Many thanks in advance,
Lothar
