Oracle Home Directory Naming Convention
By default, Oracle Universal Installer configures Oracle home directories using these Oracle Optimal Flexible Architecture conventions.
The directory pattern syntax for Oracle homes is /pm/s/u/product/v/type_[n]. The following table describes the variables used in this syntax:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
|
pm |
A mount point name. |
|
s |
A standard directory name. |
|
u |
The name of the owner of the directory. |
|
v |
The version of the software. |
|
type |
The type of installation. For example: Database ( |
|
n |
An optional counter, which enables you to install the same product more than once in the same Oracle base directory. For example: Database 1 and Database 2 ( |
For example, the following path is typical for the first installation of Oracle Database on this system:
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1Parent topic: Optimal Flexible Architecture
