USER_DUMP_DEST

USER_DUMP_DEST specifies the pathname for a directory where the server will write debugging trace files on behalf of a user process.

Property	Description
Parameter type	String
Syntax	USER_DUMP_DEST = { pathname | directory }
Default value	Operating system-dependent
Modifiable	ALTER SYSTEM
Modifiable in a PDB	No
Range of values	Any valid local path, directory, or disk
Basic	No

Note: The USER_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter is deprecated.

For example, this directory might be set as follows:

• On MS-DOS: C:\ORACLE\UTRC

• On UNIX: /oracle/utrc

• On VMS: DISK$UR3:[ORACLE.UTRC]

Note: This parameter is ignored by the diagnosability infrastructure introduced in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1), which places trace and core files in a location controlled by the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter.
