Determining if an Oracle Home is Read-Only

D.4 Determining if an Oracle Home is Read-Only

Run the orabasehome command to determine if your Oracle home is a read/write or read-only Oracle home.

If the output of the orabasehome command is the same as %ORACLE_HOME%, then your Oracle home is in read/write mode. If the output displays the path ORACLE_BASE\homes\HOME_NAME, then your Oracle home is in read-only mode.

Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable:

C:\> set ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1

Go to the bin directory and run the orabasehome command:
```
C:\> cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
orabasehome

C:\> C:\app\oracle\homes\OraDB19Home1
```
In this example, the Oracle home is in read-only mode.
