B Understanding the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Directory Structure

This appendix describes the directory structure that will be created on your system at the end of your Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure installation and domain configuration.

The directory structure is illustrated in Figure B-1.

Note that this example shows the recommended directory structure, as described in "Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Your directory structure may differ slightly based on where you choose to create these directories on your system.
