About Oracle Base Config
Both, in a read-only ORACLE_HOME and read/write ORACLE_HOME, the configuration files reside in a location known as ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG.
In a read/write ORACLE_HOME, the ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG path is the same as the ORACLE_HOME path because it is located at ORACLE_HOME. However, in a read-only ORACLE_HOME, the ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG path is the same as ORACLE_BASE.
ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG\dbs
contains the configuration files for ORACLE_HOME. Each file in the dbs
directory contains ORACLE_SID so that the directory can be shared by many different ORACLE_SIDs.
To print the ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG path, run the
orabaseconfig
command from the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
directory:C:\> set ORACLE_HOME C:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1
C:\> cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
orabaseconfig
For example:
orabaseconfig
C:\> C:\app\oracle
Where, C:\app\oracle
is ORACLE_BASE.
