This appendix describes the directory structure of Oracle Enterprise Manager components and the Intelligent Agent. The entire directory structure is not detailed; only the major sections.

Directory Structure of Oracle Enterprise Manager

The following directories and files are used by Oracle Enterprise Manager components. Software and script files are installed in the ORACLE_HOME directory of the PC where Enterprise Manager is installed. The examples are for a Windows NT platform and the default ORACLE_HOME directory for Windows NT, \orant, is used.

\orant\bin
Enterprise Manager executable and DLL's are located in this directory. Help files are also located here.

\orant\dbs
Enterprise Manager message files are here.

\orant\otrace...

\orant\sysman\admin\rdbms70, rdbms71, rdbms72, rdbms73
SQL scripts required for TopSessions setup are located in these directories. The scripts are specific to an Oracle database version. These scripts are not directly accessed by the user and should not be run manually.

\orant\sysman\bmp
Sample bitmaps that are used for map backgrounds are installed here.

\orant\sysman\doc
Enterprise Manager online documentation is located in subdirectories. The files are in HTML format with a .htm extension. The toc.htm file contains the table of contents for each book and should be viewed first.
