Hi

I am quite new to oracle and need to look at administering trace and log files. Can anyone recommend a good site for manuals? I guess that the main oracle website is the first port of call, but can you get the documentation free?

Thanks for any help,

gnev.

"administering trace and log files. "

Most shop send an e-mail when a trace or dump file appears, and here are scripts for that:

There are some good online references on finding recent trace files:
