RE: Dump Destination
 
The dump destination is: Oracle_home/admin/<SID>

The UDUMP specifies user dump directory where all the user related information is stored in the form of trace file.

The BDUMP specifies background dump directory where background processes information and error logs are stored in the form of alert log file.

The CDUMP specifies core dump directory where all the information related to core operations performed by oracle is stored.
