Key Directories

There are three key top-level directories.

• ORACLE_HOME - for binaries.

  There's one ORACLE_HOME for each host, or mounted from shared storage.

• DOMAIN_HOME - for configuration, and logs.

  There's one DOMAIN_HOME for each host (also referred to as BI_DOMAIN, or bidomain).

• SDD (Singleton Data Directory) - for cross-cluster files.

  There is one SDD for each domain.

  The SDD path (by default DOMAIN_HOME/bidata) is defined in the file bi-environment.xml, located in:

  DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/bienv/core/bi-environment.xml

  Note:

  If you've just created a domain on one host, then SDD is set to DOMAIN_HOME/bidata.

  If you've scaled-out, the SDD changes to use mounted shared storage. In this case, the SDD isn't DOMAIN_HOME/bidata.
