Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Trying to change the diagnostic_directory to a file system outside $ORACLE_BASE for multiple databases.

Modified each database's diagnostic_directory parameter using "alter system set diagnostic_dest='/new/filesystem' scope=both".

This was successful and it is writing to the new destination correctly.


However when trying to remove the old destination, Oracle recreates the previous default diag directory structure.

Changes

Changing the diagnostic_dest for the database.
