Read-Only Oracle Homes were introduced in 18c<https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/upgrd/understanding-read-only-oracle-homes.html#GUID-D848002A-DBAD-48FA-8467-E849630B8E42> and made the default in 21c. Thanks to this change, the Oracle software installation itself can be image-based.<https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/upgrd/image-based-oracle-database-installations.html#GUID-0315AA15-1C03-4E96-B801-3A8E5F5D4B39>

There are a lot of benefits with ROOH and not tying the database configuration files to a particular OH location. For those of you on 19c, we highly encourage you to check this feature out and perhaps already make the move, as you will have to eventually anyway.

Thx,

All the config files moved to $ORACLE_BASE mainly because of the ROOH (read only Oracle Home) feature and that is the way 21c behaves. 21c OH is read only by default afaik.

So I read a little to understand why this change amd it is to separate the installation from configuration…. makes sense!

Looks like a step towards cloud….

I discovered it the same way you just did.

I’m following the steps I’ve used in the past when creating an Oracle 19c container database, but I’m having a strange issue that I’ve never run into before.

When I try to create the database, it says it can’t find the init.ora file. The file is in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (/oracle/app/product/21.0.0.0/dbs<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://21.0.0.0/dbs__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!NFb1CShoVdnaTM0sbiGEBm7A_bMa64dGe-tBQ7a1ZFUevjSrQ3vM6kNgHipISqAbuE6bA7NY4RZHMjqe9K2UVi34$>) directory, as it always has been, but it is looking for it in the $ORACLE_BASE/dbs (/oracle/app/dbs) directory instead. Is this a change with 21c? The environment is configured the same as in the past. How do I fix it?
