Oracle Base vs. Software Location

NoraFeb 29 2012 — edited Mar 1 2012
Hi,

Is it OK to use different drive locations for Oracle Base and Oracle Software Location?

For example, if I make the Oracle Base point to E:\diag, and the Software Location point to C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1, would that cause any issues?

When I try this, I get the following message:

[INS-32018] The selected Oracle Home is outside of Oracle Base. Are you sure you want to continue?


Is there a reason I shouldn't do it this way?

thanks much,
Nora
