I believe that is a limitation with that procedure. If you are tracing your own session, use
Alter session set max_dump_file_size=unlimited; Otherwise set it at the system level during your trace Alter system set max_dump_file_size=unlimited; If necessary, reset it after your large trace has completed. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 12:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L >>> If I set max_dump_file_size greater than 2G I get an error.
