How do I create a database file policy to manage database log or core dump files?

Purpose

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.

Note: For historical or troubleshooting purposes, recommends that you archive the main database log files on a regular basis.
