I have enabled tracing in a session and now I want to retrieve the name of the tracefile.
Ex: my session has sid 335.
How do I retrieve trace file name from sqlplus ?
select pid from v$process where addr in
(select paddr from v$session where sid=335);
PID
----------
47
Now I can use oradebug to reveal tracefile name
SQL> oradebug setorapid 47
Unix process pid: 1372408, image: oracle@dbsrv01 (TNS V1-V3)
SQL> oradebug tracefile_name
/u01/app/oracle/admin/LSC01/udump/lsc01_ora_1372408.trc
Read valuable information about oradebug on this site, amoung others
I just found another valuable information to find out file name without oradebug :
http://blog.psftdba.com/2006/12/retrieving-oracle-trace-files-via.html
SELECT LOWER(d.name)||'_ora_'||p.spid
||DECODE(p.value,'','','_'||value) tracefile_name
FROM v$parameter p, v$database d, sys.v_$session s, sys.v_$process p
,(SELECT sid FROM v$mystat WHERE rownum=1) m
WHERE p.name = 'tracefile_identifier'
AND s.paddr = p.addr
AND s.sid = m.sid

Hi Laurent
They is an easier way.
Update to Oracle 11g 😉 and use:
select value from v$diag_info where name=’Default Trace File’;

Thanks Sven,
In 11g I also found :
SQL> select tracefile from v$process where pid=32;
TRACEFILE
