Title: RE: ksedmp

Hi Patrice,

 

Ross is right. Sorry that you did not find anything helpful in my book. I did not include the error handling module in the scope for my book, because I don't think it's very interesting. Here is what the introduction of my book says about the services layer in general, and then about the scope ...

The services layer provides low-level services that are used by all the higher layers, such as error handling, debugging, and tracing facilities, as well as parameter control and memory services. In particular, the service layer is responsible for generic concurrency control facilities such as latches, event waits, enqueue locks, and instance locks. This layer is also responsible for the management of the data structures for background and user processes and sessions, as well as state objects, inter-process messages, and system statistics.

...

This book covers the kernel services for waits, latches, locks, and memory.

Would anyone know what this refers to?

I have a trace file with cryptic information in it, and can't make sense of it.

I thought perhaps I could figure out what this is by looking in the Oracle
Internals book by O'Reilly, but no success.  It does say that KS is a layer
used by the other layers for memory management, cursor space and other
things, but that's all the information I could get out of that book.
