Is there an easy way to set a tracefile identifier when tracing someone
else's session?  To trace my own session I simply use something like:
alter session set tracefile_identifier='ANDY';

The package DBMS_SYSTEM provides procedures SET_BOOL_PARAM_IN_SESSION and
SET_INT_PARAM_IN_SESSION but nothing like SET_VARCHAR_PARAM_IN_SESSION.  I
have looked a bit on the web but have not found an answer for this.  Is it
possible?

Thanks and kind regards,
