The following list describes the directories and variables used in this chapter: ■ ORACLE_BASE: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the base directory under which Oracle products are installed. ■ MW_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the location where Fusion Middleware FMW resides. ■ WL_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path contains installed files necessary to host a WebLogic Server. ■ ORACLE_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the location where Oracle FMW SOA Suite is installed. ■ ORACLE_COMMON_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the Oracle home that contains the binary and library files required for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and Java Required Files JRF. There can be only one Oracle Common home within each Middleware home. ■ DOMAIN Directory: This directory path refers to the location where the Oracle WebLogic Domain information configuration artifacts is stored. ■ ORACLE_INSTANCE: An Oracle instance contains one or more system components, such as Oracle Web Cache, Oracle HTTP Server, or Oracle Internet Directory. An Oracle instance directory contains updateable files, such as configuration files, log files, and temporary files. The values used and recommended for consistency for this directories are: ORACLE_BASE: u01apporacle MW HOME Application Tier: ORACLE_BASE productfmw WL_HOME: MW_HOME wlserver_10.3 ORACLE_HOME: MW_HOME soa ORACLE_COMMON_HOME: 5-98 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide MW_HOME oracle_common Location for JMS file based stores and Tlogs: ORACLE_BASE admindomain_namesoa_cluster_namejms ORACLE_BASE admindomain_namesoa_cluster_nametlogs Mount point is: ORACLE_BASE admindomain_namesoa_cluster_name
