CA_GPREFS environment variable

This environment variable specifies the location of the global preferences file, CAGPREFS.ORA. Global preferences are shared among networked users. In addition to searching the directory specified by CA_GPREFS, products will also search the current directory for the CAGPREFS.ORA file.

The CAGPREFS.ORA file is automatically created by the Oracle Installer. To modify the global preference settings, use a text editor such as Notepad to manually edit this file. Global preferences set in CAGPREFS.ORA can be overridden by the local preference file, CAUPREFS.ORA, which is defined by CA_UPREFS.

Valid Values

Any directory on any drive.

Default

ORACLE_HOME
