Reliable Way to Discover Oracle Base and Oracle Home

edited Jun 4, 2019 5:00AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hi Gurus,

Given a non-Windows server and Oracle binary/software is installed, what is the best reliable way to discover the path for environment variable Oracle Base and Oracle Home?

Is running executable file Orabase the most accurate way to get the path for Oracle Base?  

How about Oracle Home, assuming there is no /etc/oratab file or any entry?   I understand parsing inventory.xml is one of the approaches, but it can be a bit difficult.

TIA for your response.

Howdy, Stranger!
