    Clean your file and try this :

    SQL> execute sys.dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,to_char(sysdate)|| ' I have just create a new file.');

    no actually , its on Sun 5.8.

    If i move or delete the file from its current DEFAULT location, will ORacle create one if needed by itself ?

    thanks

    yes oracle will create a new one.
    cd $ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/bdump

    SQL> !cp alert_SID.log old_alert_SID.log

    SQL> !rm alert_SID.log

    SQL> execute sys.dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,to_char(sysdate)|| ' I have just create a new file.');


    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    SQL> !cat alert_SID.log
