    Where is my Alert log file?

    Beginning with Release 11g, the alert log file is written as XML formatted and as a text file (like in previous releases). The default location of both these files is the new ADR home (Automatic Diagnostic Respository).

    The ADR is set by using the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. If this parameter is omitted, then, the default location of ADR is, 'u01/oracle/product/ora11g/log' depending on your ORACLE_HOME setting.

    The location of an ADR home is given by the following path, which starts at the ADR base directory: ADR_BASE/diag/product_type/product_id/instance_id

    If environment variable ORACLE_BASE is not set, DIAGNOSTIC_DEST is set to ORACLE_HOME/log.


    Also use the script below to locate you alert file in sqlplus

    SQL> select * from v$diag_info;
    Within the ADR home directory are subdirectories:alert - The XML formatted alertlog
    trace - files and text alert.log file
    cdump - core files

    The XML formatted alert.log is named as 'log.xml'
