About Oracle Base Config
In a read-only ORACLE_HOME, the configuration files reside in a location known as ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG.
Starting with Oracle Database 21c, the only available configuration is a read-only ORACLE_HOME where ORACLE_BASE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG are located separately from ORACLE_HOME.
In a read-only ORACLE_HOME, the ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG path is the same as ORACLE_BASE.
ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG\database
contains the configuration files for ORACLE_HOME. Each file in the database
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\21.0.0\dbhome_1
C:\> cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
orabaseconfig
For example:
orabaseconfig
C:\> C:\app\oracle
Where, C:\app\oracle
is ORACLE_BASE.
