Directory Structure (Windows)

Definition

This section describes the directory structure for the Oracle database with the Windows operating system.

Use

The directories contain a range of files such as profiles, log files, scripts, executables, and so on.

The following conventions apply to this section:

Term Meaning

%<name>%   Environment variable

<DBSID> %$ORACLE_DBSID%

<TSP>   Tablespace short name

For example, BTABD for the tablespace PSAPBTABD.

Structure

There are the following main structures:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/directory-structure-windows-sap-database-guide-oracle-sap-library 2/6

%ORACLE_HOME%  for Oracle-specific objects with the default directory:

<drive>:\oracle\<DBSID>\<Oracle version>

%SAPDATA_HOME%  for SAP-specific objects with the default directory:

<drive>:\oracle\<DBSID>

Executables with the directory x:\usr\sap\<DBSID>\SYS\exe\run

Oracle Home Directory

This directory contains the following subdirectories:

database\

spfile<DBISD>.ora : Oracle spfile

init<DBSID>.ora : Profile for Oracle

init<DBSID>.sap: : Profile for BR*Tools

bin\

Contains binaries such as oracle.exe, sqlplus.exe, expdp.exe, impdp.exe, and so on

SAP Home Directory

For the files starting log_, g  means group and m means member:

origlogA\

log_g11m1.dbf

log_g13m1.dbf

origlogB\

log_g12m1.dbf

log_g14m1.dbf

Mirrored redo logs are optional - although we strongly recommend using them - so the specification for mirrlogA  and mirrlogB  might vary:

mirrlogA\log_g11m2.dbf

log_g13m2.dbf

mirrlogB\

log_g12m2.dbf

log_g14m2.dbf
