SCAN LISTENER TRACING

Written By askMLabs on Thursday, May 12, 2011 | 6:42 PM

This article describes enabling and disabling the SCAN listener tracing. Before capturing the scan listener tracing,please make sure your scan listener is configured as per the following Oracle Support IDs.
1070607.1
975457.1

Some where you should find some clue for your SCAN connectivity issues. If you are still unable to find the exact problem with the scan connectivity, you need to enable the tracing and analyze the trace files or upload the trace files to oracle support.

To enable level 16 tracing for SCAN listeners, add the following parameters to listener.ora and  try to reproduce the connectivity issue.

TRACE_LEVEL_<listener_name> = 16
TRACE_DIRECTORY_<listener_name> =<dir location>
TRACE_TIMESTAMP_<listener_name> = TRUE
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername>=off

Then try to reload all the listeners after these parameters are in place using lsnrctl reload <listener_name>.

Reproduce the issue and verify that the trace and log files are created in the directory mentioned in the parameter TRACE_DIRECTORY_<listener_name>.

To disable scan listener tracing:

$lsnrctl
LSNRCTL>set current_listener <listener_name>
LSNRCTL>set trc_level OFF
LSNRCTL>save_config

In the above tracing we disabled diagnostic repository with the parameter DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername> and collected trace files. Now if you want to re-enable DIAG_ADR, just comment out DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_<listenername> in listener.ora and reload all the listeners.

NOTE: ADR is the new concept introduced from 11g and it is a file system repository to store all diagnostic data. Please review the article  Automatic Diagnostic Repository  to know more on ADR concepts.
