(default) to disable the timeout.
any number greater than 0 to enable the timeout. The number equals the timeout period in seconds.
To specify the level for log messages.
off
for no logging. This is the default.
user
for user-induced errors log information.
admin
for administration, such as installation-specific, log information.
support
for Oracle Support Services information.
To specify the maximum number of concurrent local or remote sessions of the Oracle Connection Manager control utility allowable for a given instance. One of these sessions must be a local session.
Any number of sessions can be designated.
To specify the maximum number of connection slots that a gateway process can handle.
This parameter accepts a range of 1 to 1024.
To specify the maximum number of gateway processes that an instance of Oracle Connection Manager supports.
The number designated must be greater than the minimum number of gateway processes. The maximum is 64.
To specify the minimum number of gateway processes that an instance of Oracle Connection Manager must support.
Any number of sessions can be designated up to 64.
To specify the length of time that the Oracle Connection Manager instance waits for a valid connection to be established with the database server or with another Oracle Connection Manager instance.
60
(default) to disable the timeout.
Any number greater than 0 to enable the timeout. The number equals the timeout period in seconds.
To specify an access control rule list to filter incoming connections. A rule list specifies which connections are accepted, rejected, or dropped.
This parameter is listed in the rule list section of the cman.ora
file preceded by RULE_LIST=
.
(RULE_LIST= (RULE= (SRC=host) (DST=host) (SRV=service_name) (ACT={accept|reject|drop}) (ACTION_LIST=AUT={on|off} ((CONN_STATS={yes|no})(MCT=time)(MIT=time)(MOCT=time))) (RULE= ...))
The RULE
parameter filters a connection or group of connections using the following parameters:
SRC
: Specify the source host name or IP address of the client.
DST
: Specify the destination server host name or IP address of the database server.
SRV
: Specify database service name of Oracle Database obtained from the SERVICE_NAME
parameter in the initialization parameter file.
ACT
: Specify accept
to accept incoming requests, reject
to reject incoming requests, or drop
to reject incoming requests without sending an error message.
ACTION_LIST
: Specify rule-level parameter settings for some parameters. These parameters are as follows:
AUT
: Oracle Advanced Security authentication on client side
CONN_STATS
: Log input and output statistics
MCT
: Maximum connect time
MIT
: Maximum idle timeout
MOCT
: Maximum outbound connect time
Rule-level parameters override their global counterparts.
If no rules are specified, then all connections are rejected.
The source and destination can be a host name, IP address, or subnet mask.
You must enter at least one rule for client connections and one rule for CMCTL connections. Omitting one or the other results in the rejection of all connections for the rule type omitted. The last rule in the example that follows is a CMCTL rule.
Oracle Connection Manager does not support wildcards for partial IP addresses. If you use a wildcard, then use it in place of a full IP address. The IP address of the client may, for example, be (SRC=*).
Oracle Connection Manager supports only the /nn
notation for subnet addresses. In the first rule in the example, /27 represents a subnet mask that comprises 27 left-most bits.
(RULE_LIST= (RULE= (SRC=client1-pc) (DST=sales-server) (SRV=sales.us.example.com) (ACT=reject)) (RULE= (SRC=192.168.2.45) (DST=192.168.2.200) (SRV=db1) (ACT=accept)) (RULE= (SRC=foo) (DST=foobar) (SRV=cmon) (ACT=accept)))
To specify the maximum time allowed for a user session. The global setting can be overridden by a rule-level setting in ACTION_LIST
. This parameter accepts the following values:
To specify the size of the trace file in KB. When the size is reached, the trace information is written to the next file. The number of files is specified with the TRACE_FILENO
parameter.
To specify the number of trace files. When this parameter is set along with the TRACE_FILELEN
parameter, trace files are used in a cyclical fashion. The first file is filled first, then the second file, and so on. When the last file has been filled, the first file is reused, and so on.
To specify the level for trace messages.
off
for no tracing. This is the default.
user
for user-induced errors trace information.
admin
for administration, such as installation-specific, trace information.
support
for Oracle Support Services information.
To specify the use of a timestamp for the tracing logs. If the TRACING parameter is enabled, then a time stamp in the form of dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss:mil
for every trace event in the trace file.
off
for no timestamp is included in the file.
on
for timestamp to be included in the file.
Beginning with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database includes an advanced fault diagnosability infrastructure for preventing, detecting, diagnosing, and resolving problems. The problems are critical errors such as those caused by database code bugs, metadata corruption, and customer data corruption.
When a critical error occurs, it is assigned an incident number, and diagnostic data for the error, such as traces and dumps, are immediately captured and tagged with the incident number. The data is then stored in the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR), a file-based repository outside the database.
This section describes the parameters used when ADR is enabled (when DIAG_ADR_ENABLED
is set to on
). "Non-ADR Diagnostic Parameters for Oracle Connection Manager" describes the parameters used when ADR is disabled (when DIAG_ADR_ENABLED
is set to off
). Non-ADR parameters listed in the cman.ora
file are ignored when ADR is enabled.
To specify the base directory into which tracing and logging incidents are stored when ADR is enabled.
The default is ORACLE_BASE
, or ORACLE_HOME/log
if ORACLE_BASE
is not defined.
Any valid directory path to a directory with write permission.
ADR_BASE=/oracle/network/trace
To indicate whether ADR tracing is enabled.
When the DIAG_ADR_ENABLED
parameter is set to OFF
, non-ADR file tracing is used.
on
| off
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED=on
To specify the level of logging performed by Oracle Connection Manager. This parameter is also applicable when non-ADR logging is used.
The following log files are used with Oracle Connection Manager:
instance-name_pid
.log
for the listener
instance-name_
cmadmin
_pid
.log
for CMADMIN
instance-name_
cmgw
_pid
.log
for the gateway processes
The log files are located in the ORACLE_HOME/network/log
directory.
off or 0
off
or 0
for no log output
user
or 4
for user log information
admin
or 10
for administration log information
support
or 16
for Oracle Support Services log information
LOG_LEVEL=admin
To specify the trace level for the Oracle Connection Manager instance. This parameter is also applicable when non-ADR tracing is used.
The following trace files are used with Oracle Connection Manager:
instance-name_pid
.trc
for the listener
instance-name_
cmadmin
_pid
.trc
for CMADMIN
instance-name_
cmgw
_pid
.trc
for the gateway processes
The log files are located in the ORACLE_HOME/network/log
directory.
off

for no trace output
user
for user trace information
admin
for administration trace information
support
for Oracle Support Services trace information
TRACE_LEVEL=admin
To add a time stamp in the form of dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss:mil
to every trace event in the trace file for the listener. This parameter is used with the TRACE_LEVEL parameter. This parameter is also applicable when non-ADR tracing is used.
on
on
or true
off
or false
TRACE_TIMESTAMP=true
This section lists the parameters used when ADR is disabled (when DIAG_ADR_ENABLED
is set to off
):
Notes:
The default value of DIAG_ADR_ENABLED ison
. Therefore, the DIAG_ADR_ENABLED
parameter must explicitly be set to off
in order for non-ADR tracing to be used.To specify the location of Oracle Connection Manager log files. Use this parameter when ADR is not enabled.
ORACLE_HOME/network/log
Any valid directory path to a directory with write permission.
LOG_DIRECTORY=/oracle/network/log
To specify the location of the Oracle Connection Manager trace files. Use this parameter when ADR is not enabled.
ORACLE_HOME/network/trace
Any valid directory path to a directory with write permission.
TRACE_DIRECTORY=/oracle/network/admin/trace
To specify the size, in KB, of the trace file. When the size is met, the trace information is written to the next file. The number of files is specified with the TRACE_FILENO parameter. Any size can be designated. Use this parameter when ADR is not enabled.
Unlimited
TRACE_FILELEN=100
To specify the number of trace files for Oracle Connection Manager tracing. When this parameter is set along with the TRACE_FILELEN parameter, trace files are used in a cyclical fashion. The first file is filled first, then the second file, and so on. When the last file has been filled, the first file is reused, and so on. Any number of files can be designated.
The trace file names are distinguished from one another by their sequence number. For example, if this parameter is set to 3
, then the gateway trace files would be named instance-name_
cmgw1
_pid
.trc
, instance_name_
cmgw2
_pid
.trc
and instance_name_
cmgw3
_pid
.trc
.
In addition, trace events in the trace files are preceded by the sequence number of the file. Use this parameter when ADR is not enabled.
