Location

Size

Usage

$SPLEBASE

5 GB minimum

This is the location where the application and

framework get installed.

Startup, shutdown and other online log files are stored here. The size and space that is used should be monitored because various debugging options can significantly affect the size of log files.

$SPLAPP

This location is used by the various Web server vendors to expand the application. It should be considered when installing these products. Refer to the individual Web server documentation to determine the location of the temporary files.

Installation temporary area

4 GB

The application gets installed from this location. You need enough space to uncompress the files and install the application.

Oracle data area

4 GB minimum

This location is where the Oracle database data files are stored. The size of this space should be based on the requirements of the production environment. For an initial or demo database install 4 GB should be sufficient.

Additional Notes on Supported Platforms

Support for Software Patches and Upgrades

Due to the ongoing nature of software improvement, vendors will periodically issue patches and service packs for the operating systems, application servers and database servers on top of specific versions that Oracle products have already been tested against.

If it is necessary to apply an upgrade, please do so in a test environment that is running on the same platform as your production environment prior to updating the production environment itself.

The exception from this rule is Hibernate software version 4.1.0. This version should not be upgraded.
