The COMN Directory

The COMN or COMMON_TOP directory contains files used by many different Oracle Applications products, and which may also be used with third-party products.

Figure 4. Common Top directory structure

The admin Directory

The admin directory, under the COMMON_TOP directory, is the default location for the concurrent manager log and output directories. When the concurrent managers run

Oracle Applications reports, they write the log files and temporary files to the log subdirectory of the admin directory, and the output files to the out subdirectory of the admin directory.

The html Directory

The OA_HTML environment setting points to the html directory. The Oracle Applications HTML-based sign-on screen and Oracle HTML-based Applications HTML files are installed here. The html directory also contains other files used by the HTML-based products, such as JavaServer Page (JSP) files, Java scripts, XML files, and style sheets. Rapid Install and the AD utilities copy the HTML-based product files from each _TOP directory to subdirectories in the html directory.

The java Directory

The JAVA_TOP environment setting points to the java directory. Rapid Install installs all

Oracle Applications JAR files in the Oracle namespace of this JAVA_TOP directory. The java directory also holds third-party Java files used by Oracle Applications, as well as other zip files.

The portal Directory

The portal directory contains the Rapid Install Portal files. The Rapid Install Portal is a web page that provides access to post-install tasks that may be necessary for your installation, plus server administration scripts, installation documentation, and online help. Using a browser, you can view the Rapid Install Portal after you run Rapid Install.

The temp Directory

The temp directory is used for caching by some products such as Oracle Reports.

The util Directory

The util directory contains the third-party utilities licensed to ship with Oracle Applications. These include, for example, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Java Development Kit (JDK), and the Zip utility.

The scripts Directory

The scripts directory contains application tier control scripts such as adstrtal.sh and adstpall.sh, which are located in the subdirectory.
