Dbvisit Support is the single point of contact for all Dbvisit products. To help collect all the information needed by the support team, Dbvisit Replicate contains a built-in trace file packaging facility. This will typically be the first item that a Dbvisit support technician will ask for. Use the command SUPPORT PACKAGE process_type to create a zip file containing the files for the specified process, running this command in turn on fetcherFETCHER, mine MINE and apply servers.

====> If instructed by support, run as SYSDBA the script get_logtrace.jTZ4.sql
and upload the generated tracefile (script will show the name) to Dbvisit Support as well.

The created file includes the process name and a unique identifier, so multiple runs of the packaging command won't overwrite past zip files.

The command can take further arguments, forcing it to skip some files – use it only if packaging otherwise fails.
