What is Oracle Inventory Directory

Oracle uses a special directory called the Oracle Inventory directory, also known as OraInventory,
to store an inventory of all the Oracle software on a server. Multiple Oracle installations can share the
same Oracle Inventory directory. You need to specify the path for this directory only the first time
you install an Oracle product on a server. The usual format of this directory is as follows:


$ORACLE_BASE/ora_inventory

For example, if /u01/app/oracle is your ORACLE_BASE directory location, then the Oracle Inventory
directory will be

/u01/app/oracle/ora_inventory

The first time you install Oracle software, the installer prompts for the OraInventory directory
path, and creates the directory itself.
