Symptoms
Due to security reasons the console-ovd~1.log file needs to be relocated from its default location (ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/OVD/ovd1) to a different directory.
According to Table 6-7 of the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server Administrator's Guide it is possible to use the COMPONENT_LOG_PATH environment variable to provide "absolute path to the log files on disk for your component.
However, after adding the environment variable to the opmn.xml file for OVD process-type, the console~ovd~1.log file is still created under the default location.
Steps to reproduce:
----------------------
1) Stop the instance: opmnctl stopall
2) Make a backup copy of the ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml file.
3) Edit the ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OPMN/opmn/opmn.xml file and add the following lines under process-type id="OVD":
4) Clean up the ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/OVD/ovd1 directory.
5) Re-start the instance: opmnctl startall
6) Checking the "/refresh/home/ovd_logs" directory it is empty.
7) Checking the ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/OVD/ovd1 directory we find the console~ovd~1.log file was still created in the default location.
