CORE_DUMP_DEST is primarily a UNIX parameter and may not be supported on your platform. It specifies the directory where Oracle dumps core files.
Note:
This parameter is ignored by the new diagnosability infrastructure introduced in Oracle Database 11g Release 1, which places trace and core files in a location controlled by theDIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter.
