Directories Created by the Database Creation
Script
The database creation script creates the following directory structure, in
keeping with the Oracle Flexible Architecture specification:
<ORACLE_BASE>
<ORACLE_BASE>\admin\<ORACLE_SID> or
<ORACLE_HOME>\admin\<ORACLE_SID>, depending on which
exists. If both exist, <ORACLE_BASE>\admin\<ORACLE_SID> will
be used. This directory is referred to as <ETM_DB_DIRECTORY> in
this document.
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\adhoc
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\arch
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\bdump
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\cdump
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\create, where all database creation scripts
and log files are placed. Refer to this directory to check for errors and
to verify the output while running the
oracle_install.pl
script.
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\exp
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\pfile, where the init<ORACLE_SID>.ora
initialization files are created.
<ETM_DB_DIRECTORY>\udump contains user log files.
<ORACLE_DATA>\<ORACLE_SID> contains data files for the
database.
