193386May 27 2004 — edited May 27 2004
Hello,

On Linux OS, Oracle 8i DB, the first time (after database startup), I issue
alter database backup controlfile to trace
command, the trace file is created in user dump dir
Subsequest times, do not create the trace file

I tried in Windows, Oracle 8i DB, it works fine.
