Oracle Apps 11i  File System:

An Oracle Applications Release 11i system utilizes components from many Oracle products. These product files are stored below a number of key top-level directories on the database and application server machines. Depending on how you chose to install Applications, these product directories may be located on a single machine (the simplest case) or on multiple machines (the most common type of deployment).

            Operating system environment settings indicate the location of the various files in the file systems of the database and application server machines.

This topic discusses the association between these environment settings and the corresponding files and directories.

Note: is the name of your system determined through Rapid Install at the time of installation. For example, PROD.
