Filed under: oradebug, trace 

Using “oradebug dump errorstack <dump level>” one can dump the call stack of the process after attaching to a running session. There are 3 values that can be passed as dump level
0 – dump error buffer
1 – level 0 with call stack
2 – level 1 with process state
3 – level 2 with context area

Example:
– Attach to a process
SQL> oradebug setospid 21906;
Oracle pid: 17, Unix process pid: 21906, image: oracle@localhost.localdomain (TNS V1-V3)
SQL> oradebug dump errorstack 3;
Statement processed.
SQL> oradebug tracefile_name;
/u01/oradata/admin/TEST/udump/test_ora_21906.trc

Information in the trace file:

How to find/list the events set in a session?

July 22, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: oradebug, trace 

Using “oradebug dump events 1″ one can find/list events set in a session.

For example:
In a session events 10046 and 1410 events are set
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS='10046 trace name context forever, level 12';

Session altered.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS='1410 trace name context forever, level 12';

Session altered.

SQL> SELECT distinct sid FROM v$mystat
SID
———-
131
In another session login as an account as sysdba
SQL> SELECT pid, spid FROM v$process where addr IN (SELECT paddr FROM V$session where sid = 131);
PID SPID
———- ——-
12 3420

SQL> oradebug setorapid 12
Unix process pid: 10932, image: oracle@localhost.localdomain (TNS V1-V3)

SQL> oradebug dump events 1
Statement processed.

SQL> oradebug tracefile_name
/u01/oradata/admin/TEST/udump/test_ora_10932.trc

Or in 11g:
SQL> oradebug eventdump session
1410 trace name context forever, level 12
sql_trace level=12

After running the above oradebug will dump the events in the trace file in the above case /u01/oradata/admin/TEST/udump/test_ora_10932.trc shows event 1410 and 10046 events set.

Dump event group for level SESSION
TC Addr Evt#(b10) Action TR Addr Arm Life

Using oradebug to set event

July 14, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: oradebug, trace 

The following example shows how to set event on a oracle session

To turn on event, needs to be run as sysdba
SQL> connect /as sysdba
– attach to session by OS process id
SQL> oradebug setospid 5243378;
Oracle pid: 68, Unix process pid: 5243378, image: oracle@hostname (TNS V1-V3)
– sets maximum dump file size to be unlimited
SQL> oradebug unlimit
Statement processed.
– turn trace on
SQL> oradebug event 10046 trace name context forever,level 12
Statement processed.

To turn off event
– after gathering information from the same session which is already attached to ospid 5243378 turn off the trace
SQL> oradebug event 10046 trace name context off
Statement processed.

List of events can be found in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msg
