GET_TRACE_VALUE

Use this procedure to programmatically retrieve the current value of a trace.

Syntax

CTX_OUTPUT.GET_TRACE_VALUE(trace_id BINARY_INTEGER);

trace_id

Specify the trace ID whose value you want. See Table 11-1 for possible values.

Example

This sets the value of the variable value:

value := ctx_output.get_trace_value(trace_id);

Notes

You can also retrieve trace values through SQL:

select * from ctx_trace_values;

See “CTX_TRACE_VALUES” for the entries in the CTX_TRACE_VALUES view.

If the trace has not been enabled, an error is raised.

Traces are not reset to 0 by this call.

Traces are associated with a session-they can measure operations that take place within a single session, and conversely, cannot make measurements across sessions.
