When TRACE_ENABLED
is set to true
, Oracle records information in specific files when errors occur.
Oracle records this information for all instances, even if only one instance terminates. This allows Oracle to retain diagnostics for an entire cluster.
Although the overhead incurred from this processing is not excessive, you can improve performance by setting TRACE_ENABLED
to false
. You might do this, for example, to meet high-end benchmark requirements. However, if you leave this parameter set to false
, you may lose valuable diagnostic information. Therefore, always set TRACE_ENABLED
to true
to trace system problems and to reduce diagnostic efforts when unexplained instance failures occur.
