RE: Dump Destination
 
The dump destination is the location where the trace files are located for all the Oracle process

bdump-->Background processes + alert_SID.log file location
cdump--> Core Processes dump
udump--> User Processes dump
adump--> for ASM processes

These destinations contains useful information related to process failures.
