CA_UPREFS

Default: ORACLE_HOME

Valid Values: any directory on any drive

Example:

CA_UPREFS=C:\orant

This parameter specifies the location of the user preferences file, CAUPREFS.ORA. The CAUPREFS.ORA file maintains the preferences that you set via Tools | Tools Options within your products. In addition to searching the directory specified by the CA_UPREFS parameter, the product will also search the current directory for the CAUPREFS.ORA file.

Several Oracle products write their preference information to the CAUPREFS.ORA file. To manually modify the user preference settings, use a text editor such as Notepad to edit this file. User preferences set in CAUPREFS.ORA override global preferences set in the CAGPREFS.ORA file, which is defined by the parameter CA_GPREFS.
