10.14 Oracle Trace File Analyzer Daemon is Not Starting or Not Running?

Description:
TFA-00001: Failed to start Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) daemon
TFA-00002: Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) is not running

The errors indicate that Java does not start.

Action:

  1. Verify that Oracle Trace File Analyzer is not running.

    ps -ef|grep -i tfa

    Note:

    On some operating systems, the ps command truncates the output at 80 characters. The ps command does not display the process even if it is running.
  2. To confirm that the Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon is not running, run the following command run as root.

    # tfactl print status
    TFA-00002 Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) is not running
  3. Try starting the Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon as root.

    # tfactl start
    Starting TFA..
    Waiting up to 100 seconds for TFA to be started..

    If Oracle Trace File Analyzer still fails to start, then run tfactl diagnosetfa -local. Upload the resultant file to Oracle Support.
