Trace files are used to store information about the system, such as performance data, errors, and warnings. The trace file rotation feature allows for the automatic deletion of old trace files and the creation of new ones. This helps to keep the system running smoothly and efficiently.

  It is important to note that trace file rotation should only be enabled when necessary. If it is enabled when not needed, it can cause unnecessary disk space usage and slow down system performance. Additionally, it is important to regularly check the trace files to ensure that they are being rotated correctly.
