This is the configuration for the C ORACLE_HOME, set when running the Concurrent Managers and AD utilities.

$ORA_CONFIG_HOME

Instance Home appl Directory/inst/apps//appl $APPL_CONFIG_HOME */adminEmpty in standalone instance where APPL_CONFIG_HOME value is APPL_TOPContains these files if APPL_CONFIG_HOME value is not APPL_TOPtopfile.txt, adjareas.txt, adjborg2.txt, adjborg.txt, adovars.env, adconfig.txt, .xml/fnd/12.0.0/secure$FND_SECURE

certs is the default directory for SSL or other certificate files used by this instance. To use a centrally stage certificate change the appropriate context file variables and run AutoConfig

$IAS_ORACLE_HOMECOMMON_TOP Changes - HTML$COMMON_TOP/webapps/oacore/html ($OA_HTML)Contains all the .html, .jsp, .css, .xml filesThis change made to meet J2EE requirementsExtra files to meet J2EE requirements/webapps/oacore/html/WEB-INF/web.xmlweb.xml normally contains servlet definitions and mappings. To implement shared file system, this information is configured in $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/j2ee/oacore /application-deployments/oacore/html/orion-web.xmlweb.xml is a basic file with no servlet definitions, shared by all instances/webapps/oacore/META-INF/application.xml

SSO and LDAP IntegrationDoes the Release 12 Rapid Install include an OracleAS 10g Infrastructure?No, the Release 12 database created by the Rapid Install does not include a OracleAS 10g Infrastructure database. Although Release 12 uses OracleAS 10g 10.1.2 and 10.1.3, these components do not require an OracleAS 10g Infrastructure (sometimes referred to as a Metadata Repository). The Release 12 database does not include a OracleAS 10g Infrastructure database.Can I install an OracleAS 10g Infrastructure in the Release 12 database?No, this is not supported.R12 FeaturesTechnology Stack componentsFile system layoutTechnologyFunctionalityMaintenance
