Navigator Trace and Log Parameter Descriptions

TRACE_LEVEL_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter determines the level of trace detail produced for the Navigator. Setting the trace level to OFF disables trace. Trace should be OFF except for short diagnostic sessions.

The Interchange is not intended to be traced by anyone other than an administrator; so the ADMIN level is recommended for Interchange modules.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: OFF
OK to change? yes
Ranges of values: [OFF | USER | ADMIN]

OFF = No user-specified tracing. This value can be used to disable trace.
USER = User level: The tracing at this level is limited.
ADMIN = Administrator level: Trace to identify installation-specific problems, for substantiation of "finger pointing" in case of third-party stacks, and for following situations:

TRACE_FILE_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter controls the trace filename for the Navigator. By default, the trace file generated by the Navigator is called NAV.TRC. Note that for each trace session a trace output file is generated. Each time a new trace file is created, a process identifier is appended to the name of the trace file so that it is unique. The format of the appended process identifier is platform specific and is described in the Oracle platform-specific documentation.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: NAV
OK to change? yes
Ranges of values: string

Example: 

TRACE_FILE_NAVIGATOR = NAVTEST

On a UNIX machine, this example might generate a trace file called NAVTEST_5234.TRC.

Note: On most operating systems, the .TRC suffix is appended to the trace filename automatically, so there is no need to specify it in the configuration file.

TRACE_DIRECTORY_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter is used to override the placement of the trace output file for the Navigator. The default value is specific to each operating system.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: See your Oracle platform-specific
documentation.
OK to change? yes
Range of values: valid directory

Example: See your Oracle platform-specific
documentation.

LOG_FILE_NAVIGATOR

This parameter controls the log output filename for the Navigator. By default the log file generated is called NAV.LOG. Log files always append new information to the end of the existing log until the administrator prunes the log file.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: NAVGATR
OK to change? yes
Range of values: string

Example:

LOG_FILE_NAVIGATOR = NAVIGATOR

This example generates a log file called NAVIGATOR.LOG

Note: On most operating systems, the .LOG suffix is appended to the log filename automatically, so there is no need to specify it in the configuration file.

LOG_DIRECTORY_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter is used to override the placement of the log output file for the Navigator. By default, the log is written in the current working directory.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: See your Oracle platform-specific
documentation.
OK to change? Not configurable using Network Manager
Range of values: valid directory Example: See your Oracle platform-specific
documentation.

LOGGING_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter determines whether the Navigator logs navigation requests. This is an optional parameter.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: OFF
OK to change? Use Logging Level field in Network
Manager.
Range of values: [OFF|ON]

LOG_LEVEL_ NAVIGATOR

This parameter takes effect only when the LOGGING_NAVIGATOR parameter is set to ON. LOG_LEVEL_NAVIGATOR determines what requests are logged. Choices are ERRORS and ALL. If ERRORS, then all errors in navigation are logged. If ALL, then all navigation requests are logged.

Configuration file: INTCHG.ORA
Default value: ERRORS
OK to change? yes
Range of values: [ERRORS|ALL]
