config.txt - rapid install

Previous releases of Oracle Applications only used a text file, config.txt, to store the supplied configuration values.


In Release 12, the name of this configuration file has changed, and it now includes the database SID, to give a file name of conf_.txt (for example, conf_PROD.txt). This file stores the information collected by Rapid Install for all database and Applications nodes.

Rapid Install stores copies of the conf_.txt file in three separate locations:

• Database 10g R2 /appsutil: This copy is used on database nodes, on Applications nodes in multi-node installs, and in upgrades. It is permanently stored and not deleted.

• $INST_TOP: This copy is used on Applications nodes in multi-node installs, and in upgrades. It is permanently stored and not deleted.

• /tmp/: This copy is used by Rapid Install during the installation run. It is deleted when the installation is completed
