trace file is too big can I delete, empty trace files?

user10792052Feb 16 2025

Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 on Oracle Linux 7.9 , the trace files are not moved to another trace file for the next day, but build up based on same trace file name. The trace files grow, from 16MB, 226MB to 668 MB

Can I backup the trace file, and than do a

cat /dev/null >> database_ora_49626.trc ?

cat /dev/null >> database_lgwr_49626.trc ?

Does this require restart of Database?

Thanks
