RE: Trace file does not reside in user_dump_dest. Why ?

[CHAN Chor Ling Catherine (CSC)]

Hi Ed,

SQL> select name, value
  2  from v$parameter
  3  where name like '%user_dump%';

NAME                                     VALUE
---------------------------------------- --------------------------------
user_dump_dest                           /dg1/oracle/niecomn/admin/udump

The user_dump_dest is /dg1/oracle/niecomn/admin/udump but the trace file is
dumped into another directory /dg1/oracle/nieora/8.1.6/rdbms/log.
The unix permission for /dg1/oracle/niecomn/admin/udump &
/dg1/oracle/nieora/8.1.6/rdbms/log is the same.

I just don't understand why the trace file is not located in user_dump_dest.

Puzzled,
New bee

                Hi

                have you got unix permissions to write to this directory?
                Try to logon as oracle owner and check it by writing any 
                small file there.

                Also look at the output of the query

                select name, value
                from v$parameter
                where name like '%user_dump%';

                It will show your actual user dump directory
