Default: ORACLE_HOME
Valid Values: any directory on any drive
Example:
CA_GPREFS=C:\ORANT
This parameter 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 the CA_GPREFS parameter, 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 the parameter CA_UPREFS.
