Starting from oracle database 11g the alert log directory path has the following structure:
ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms/LOWER(<db_unique_name>)/<instance_name>/trace
And we can verify the directory path with this query:
1 2 3 4 5 | SQL> select value from v$diag_info where name = 'Diag Trace' ; VALUE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D:\APP\ADMIN\VIRTUAL\diag\rdbms\ primary \ primary \trace SQL> |
The name of the alert.log has ‘alert_<ORACLE_SID>.log‘ format.
