This is file system for 11i with various <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">TOP&#8217;s<\/span> , <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">APPL<\/span>_TOP, ORA_TOP, COMMON_TOP, DB_TOP and DATA_TOP. With Multiple Middle Tier configuration came shared <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">APPL<\/span>_TOP (only <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">APPL<\/span>_TOP used to be shared ) . After shared <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">APPL<\/span>_TOP came shared Application Tier (All three <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">TOP&#8217;s<\/span> on Application Tier, <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">APPL<\/span>_TOP, ORA_TOP and COMMON_TOP were shared across servers). With this came challenge of configuration files which are specific to a server mainly <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">iAS<\/span> &#038; 806 configuration file. If you have configured Shared Application Tier (sharing ORA_TOP as well) in 11i then this problem was overcome by creating <strong><span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\" onclick=\"BLOG_clickHandler(this)\">conf<\/span><\/strong> directory in COMMON_TOP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_LrtEX0cTLgI\/Ra9npMULtGI\/AAAAAAAAAXs\/jR7I8HEcvWo\/s1600-h\/fs_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5021346066919568482\" style=\"FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_LrtEX0cTLgI\/Ra9npMULtGI\/AAAAAAAAAXs\/jR7I8HEcvWo\/s320\/fs_03.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>In Oracle Apps R12, You can see new TOP called INSTANCE_TOP in Application Tier.
