 Description   

Parameter:

 
Name.................: _TRACE_FILES_PUBLIC
Values...............: TRUE/FALSE
Default value........: FALSE
Initial Release......: ?
Scope................: Instance

Explanation:

Trace files are not created with read permission by default for non-dba groups. Here is a sample on Linux:

 
$ ls -ltr
total 4
-rw-r-----    1 oracle   oinstall     2146 Jan  6 11:37 linkplus_ora_18653.trc

With _TRACE_FILES_PUBLIC=TRUE, other groups can read trace files.

 
$ ls -ltr
total 8
-rw-r--r--    1 oracle   oinstall     2742 Jan  6 12:00 linkplus_ora_18759.trc

Warning:

Setting this parameter to TRUE should be done for trusted users since trace files may include security data in BIND variables.
