Hi David,

How do I know whether the udump directory is a link to the
nieora/8.1.6/rdbms/log directory?  My OS is Unix & I am pretty new to Unix.
Any advice ? TIA

Regds,
Chorling

                Catherine,

                Just a WAG, but could the udump directory be a link to the
                nieora/8.1.6/rdbms/log directory?
