In today’s article I will be explaining the Alert file which details an error received.
Information about a user’s session, which SQL sentence the user has run, and where the error is received, etc. are found in the Trace file.
Trace files are located in the location specified in the USER_DUMP_DEST parameter.
1 2 3 4 5  |  SQL> show parameter USER_DUMP  NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------  user_dump_dest                       string      /oracle/diag/rdbms/onurdb/ONURDB/trace  | 
Or it is found by querying the v$parameter view.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  |  SQL> SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME like '%user_dump%';  NAME  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  VALUE  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  user_dump_dest  /oracle/diag/rdbms/onurdb/ONURDB/trace  |
