Oracle Home path for 12c

0
votes

I had 11g previously installed and now I have installed 12c. Have not uninstalled 11g.

The environment variable 'path' is set to 'bin' of 12c and oracle home is pointing to home i.e '11.2.0\server', of 11g.

It works but I want the Oracle_Home variable to be set to home of 12c. I do not find the path to server of 12c even after much research.

What is the path to 'home' of 12c?

You said,

"The environment variable 'path' is set to 'bin' of 12c"

It should be a path that looks something like

C:\app\oracle_account\product\12.1.0\somefolder\bin in windows or \u01\app\oracle\12.1.0\somefolder\bin in Unix/Linux

So, your Oracle 12c home should be

C:\app\oracle_account\product\12.1.0\somefolder or 

\u01\app\oracle\12.1.0\somefolder\

Now, in windows, check the registry entry ( regedit )

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HOME_NAME

It should be set to the new oracle home discussed above otherwise change it or go to environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME value.

Now, your PATH can be set using set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH% to point to the correct bin directory.

For Unix, Linux you could export them correctly in the environment which you use to connect to the database.

export ORACLE_HOME='\u01\app\oracle\12.1.0\somefolder'
