Understanding the Oracle Parallel Server Directory Structure

The Oracle Installer places all Oracle products for Windows NT into subdirectories of ORACLE_HOME. The actual directory names vary according to the different products you install.

The subdirectories of ORACLE_HOME contain the contents listed below.

All .DLL and .EXE files and configuration variables have their version numbers appended. This convention allows you to maintain multiple releases of these items for backward compatibility. For example, the executable for the Oracle Names Control Utility version 8.0 is NAMESCTL80.EXE.

\A2OWIZ80	Oracle Migration Assistant for Microsoft Access files
\AGENTBIN	Oracle Intelligent Agent files and subdirectories
\BIN	executables, help files, and library files
