Hi,
We've had situations where you get the same named file (with different = contents) created in both bdump & udump.

(This was when we experienced an ora-600 due to a bug) If they were in the same dir, you might only get 1 file and lose the = other (unless on VMS with file version :-) ).

This might be a valid reason to not do it?

If you're on VMS (but I assume Unix) you could setup a search path so = dir cmds etc would still see the multiple dirs as one=20 - maybe you can do the same thing on Unix Depends on what the reason behind the senior dba's suggestion was.

HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Speaking off the cuff, I can't think of a technical reason. I wouldn't do it, as I like to keep the users trace files separate=20 from the alert log and system trace files.

Setting _trace_files_public may raise some issues when udump and bdump point to the same directory, though I have not tried it.

How about cdump? Why not put them there as well?

We are currently working installing a 9i db on a new box. The senior dba wants to put all trace files into one directory on = $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log.
I've suggested that this is not the best practice prescribed by OFA. = Does
anyone see any major issues with keeping all trace files in one = directory?=20

Thanks,
Mark
