11g alert log

The alert log location is obviously changed in 11g. The parameter that defines the top
location ( Can be called ADR Base ) is diagnostic!dest
"#$% sho& parameter diag
'A() T*+) ,A$-)
.................................... ........... ..............................
diagnostic!dest string /01A++1TAR-'
The alert log location &ill be
2diagnostic!dest%1diag1rdbms12"3D%12"3D%1alert1log.4ml
And here you &ill see the alert log as an 4ml file.
Again understanding the file &ill be a real big trouble &ith those 4ml tags.
The file is easily readable either through 5)( or by utility adrci. "ee belo&
