Got a client getting 3120 errors. Oracle advised them to set

alter system set events '3120 trace name ERRORSTACK level 3'


Which I am familiar with. However then they came back and told them to set
the same event minus the ERRORSTACK keyword.


alter system set events '3120 trace name context forever, level 3’

What is the difference? They are not getting any dumps when the latter is
set even though the error is occurring?
