Fix Recommendation

From SQL*Plus (shutdown database instance):

shutdown immediate

From SQL*Plus (create a pfile from spfile):

create pfile='[PATH]init[SID].ora' from spfile;

Edit the init[SID].ora file and remove the following line:

*._trace_files_public=TRUE

From SQL*Plus (update the spfile using the pfile):

create spfile from pfile='[PATH]init[SID].ora';

From SQL*Plus (start the database instance):

startup

NOTE: [PATH] depends on the platform (Windows or UNIX).

Ensure the file is directed to a writable location.

[SID] is equal to the oracle SID or database instance ID.
