File System Layout Overview Default File System by Rapid Install/Rapid Clone • Database • <apps_base>/db/tech_st/10.2.0 • <apps_base>/db/apps_st/data • Applications • <apps_base>/apps/tech_st/10.1.2 • <apps_base>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3 • <apps_base>/apps/apps_st/appl • <apps_base>/apps/apps_st/comn • Instance Configuration • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name>
The Instance Home • Instance or Configuration Home • Contains instance specific files • Configuration • Logs • Scripts • Default location • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name> • Access via $INST_TOP environment variable • Implementation of shared file system and/or read-only ORACLE_HOME’s and APPL_TOP • Standalone instance also implemented this way
Instance Home Environment • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name> ($INST_TOP) • /admin • /scripts ($ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME) • /appl ($APPL_CONFIG_HOME) • /fnd/12.0.0/secure ($FND_SECURE) • /certs • /logs ($LOG_HOME) • /ora ($ORA_CONFIG_HOME) • /10.1.2 • /10.1.3 ($ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME) • /pids • /portal
Instance Home ’10.1.2’ Directory • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name>/ora/10.1.2 • <context_name>.env • /forms/server • appsweb.cfg • default.env • /network/admin $TNS_ADMIN • listener.ora • tnsnames.ora • This is the configuration for the ‘C’ ORACLE_HOME, set when running the Concurrent Managers and AD utilities.
Instance Home ‘appl’ Directory • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name>/appl $APPL_CONFIG_HOME * • /admin • Empty in standalone instance where APPL_CONFIG_HOME value is APPL_TOP • Contains these files if APPL_CONFIG_HOME value is not APPL_TOP • topfile.txt, adjareas.txt, adjborg2.txt, • adjborg.txt, adovars.env, adconfig.txt, <CONTEXT_FILE>.xml • /fnd/12.0.0/secure $FND_SECURE
Instance Home ‘certs’ Directory • <apps_base>/inst/apps/<context_name>/certs • /Apache • ewallet.p12 • /opmn • cwallet.sso • Ewallet.p12 • 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
COMMON_TOP Changes - HTML • $COMMON_TOP/webapps • /oacore/html ($OA_HTML) • Contains all the .html, .jsp, .css, .xml files • This change made to meet J2EE requirements • Extra files to meet J2EE requirements • /webapps/oacore/html/WEB-INF/web.xml • web.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.xml • web.xml is a basic file with no servlet definitions, shared by all instances • /webapps/oacore/META-INF/application.xml
R12 Features • Technology Stack components • File system layout • Technology • Functionality • Maintenance
Fusion Ready • Oracle Applications Adapter • Interface Tables • Views • API’s • Concurrent programs • EDI • XML Gateway • Business Events

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.
