By setting it in init.ora, you essentially enabled it for all sessions. I'd recommend it doing only for the processes that you think need to be tuned. At process level you could do a alter session and set the same level.

QOTD: Any clod can have facts, but having an opinion is an art! -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 10:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, everybody, However, I made the following entry into initXXXX.ora file: Event=" 10046 trace name errorstack level 12" and it rebooted over the weekend. Then I got a call from my boss on Monday morning (I was home sick) letting me know the system had come to a crawl and was producing a trace file every minute or so. Eventually, after some speculations, I told him to rem out that entry and reboot. That resolved the issue, but left me puzzled. If anyone got any insight, it is appreciated, as always. Best, Sergey P.S. Trace files have the same header (different SIDs) and sizes between .5M and 3M Dump file c:\oracle\ora81\UDUMP\ORA00144.TRC Mon Jan 28 07:35:16 2002 ORACLE V8.1.7.0.0 - Production vsnsta=0 vsnsql=e vsnxtr=3 Windows 2000 Version 5.0 Service Pack 1, CPU type 586 Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production With the Partitioning option JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production Windows 2000 Version 5.0 Service Pack 1, CPU type 586 Instance name: prod Redo thread mounted by this instance: 1 Oracle process number: 10 Windows thread id: 144, image: ORACLE.EXE *** SESSION ID:(13.115) 2002-01-28 07:35:16.703 *** 2002-01-28 07:35:16.703 ksedmp: internal or fatal error ......ETC......
