Set Autotrace Traceonly giving error SP2-0618 and SP2-0611 in Oracle 18c

Set Autotrace Traceonly giving error SP2-0618 and SP2-0611 in Oracle 18c


I was trying few things in Oracle 18c database using command window and needed autotrace enable for the same.

When i had given command "set autotrace traceonly" it has thrown error as below,


SP2-0618: Cannot find the Session Identifier.  Check PLUSTRACE role is enabled
SP2-0611: Error enabling STATISTICS report



It seems something wired here.

Few steps need to follow to work autotrace in sqlplus.


1.       cd $oracle_home/rdbms/admin
2.       log into sqlplus as sys or system
3.       run SQL> @utlxplan
4.       run SQL> create public synonym plan_table for plan_table
5.       run SQL> grant all on plan_table to public
6.       exit sqlplus and cd $oracle_home/sqlplus/admin
7.       log into sqlplus as SYS
8.       run SQL> @plustrce
9.       run SQL> grant plustrace to public



Let's follow another steps.

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> grant plustrace to dba with admin option;

After following all above steps, now we are good with autotrace traceonly.

SQL> conn hr/hr@testpdb1
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> set autotrace traceonly
SQL>
