Changing diagnostic_dest path

Hi,

after duplicated test databases I found out that location of diagnostic_dest is under $ORACLE_HOME/log/.
To change it just type alter system set diagnostic_dest=new_path. It will create related folders under there.

Firstly check current path:

[oracle@fc-db-tst1 rdbms]$ export ORACLE_SID=FCDBDEV
[oracle@fc-db-tst1 rdbms]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

SQL>  show parameter diag

NAME     TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
diagnostic_dest     string /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0
.3/db_1/log


Change path. In my case I use Oracle recommended path

SQL> alter system set diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle';

System altered.

It can take few seconds. (while creating folders)

So, check

SQL> show parameter diagnostic_dest

NAME     TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
diagnostic_dest     string /u01/app/oracle


[oracle@fc-db-tst1 rdbms]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms

[oracle@fc-db-tst1 rdbms]$ ls
fcdbdev

[oracle@fc-db-tst1 rdbms]$ cd fcdbdev/

[oracle@fc-db-tst1 fcdbdev]$ ls
FCDBDEV  i_1.mif
