If we have two Database Writer processes (DBW0, DBW1) then you may see one more trace file sidDBW1.trc besides sidDBWR0.trc, this applies to Archiver Process too. Similarly for Checkpoint Process (CKPT) it is sidCKPT.trc whereas in Unix environment the trace files pertaining to each of these processes would include the name of that process in the file names e.g. for PMON the trace file name would be PMON_nnnn.trc etc.



Remember that user trace file will get generated when there is an error in user’s server process which contains the details regarding that error. We can limit the size of User trace file by specifying the MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE init.ora parameter e.g. specifying the value of this parameter as follows in init.ora file will the user trace file size to 20MB.

MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE=20M
