16.2 Managing the Oracle Trace File Analyzer Daemon

Oracle Trace File Analyzer runs from init on UNIX systems or init/upstart/systemd on Linux, or Microsoft Windows uses a Windows Service so that Oracle Trace File Analyzer starts automatically whenever a node starts.

To manage Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon:

The init control file /etc/init.d/init.tfa is platform dependant.

1. To start or stop Oracle Trace File Analyzer manually:

   • tfactl start: Starts the Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon

   • tfactl enable: Enables automatic restarting of the Oracle Trace File Analyzer daemon.
