Procedure 6-14 To create a database file policy to manage database
log or core dump files
You can create database file policies to manage the file size and number of archives
for stored alert, listener, trace, audit, and core dump files. When the size and number
of files are left unbounded, excessive database disk capacity is consumed.
Database trace, alert, and audit log files are compressed and stored in the alert log
directory. Database listener log files are stored in the listener log directory.

Manager (Edit) form opens.

3 Click Database File Policies or choose a default policy and click Properties. The
Database File Policies Create|Edit) form opens. If you selected a default policy,
go to step 5.

parameters.
