D.5 File Path and Directory Changes in Read-Only Oracle Homes
Examples of hierarchical file mappings in a read-only Oracle home as compared to a read/write Oracle home.
This example shows an Optimal Flexible Architecture-compliant Oracle Database installation, for the user oracle, with the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_BASE_HOME, and ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG logical locations. The database files are under oraclebase\oradata.
This example also shows the changes in the Oracle Database software defined paths of configuration files, log files, and other directories in a read-only Oracle home when compared to a read/write Oracle home.
