    Oracle Applications Release 12 introduced several changes compared to Release 11i, including: 1. Upgrades to newer versions of key technology components like the database (10.2), forms (10.1.2), and application server (10.1.3). 2. A new file system model with the addition of an INST_TOP directory to separate instance-specific configurations and logs from shared applications and technology code. 3. Autoconfig no longer writes to APPL_TOP and COMMON_TOP in R12, only to the new INST_TOP area, allowing for better code sharing across instances.

    File system level changes

    A new top INSTANCE_TOP is introduced in Release 12 for configuration and log


    files along with the other TOP's in existing in 11i.

    All instance specific configurations, log files are written in INST_TOP area.

    This home provides the ability to share Applications and technology stack.
    What is INSTANCE TOP

    Instance home is the top-level directory for an applications instance which is known
    as Instance Home and is denoted the environment variable $INST_TOP.

    This contains all the config files, log files, SSL certificates etc.
    Advantages of new INSTANCE HOME

    The additional Instance Home makes the middle tier easier to manage and
    organized since the data is kept separate from the config files.

    The Instance Home also has the ability to share the Applications and Technology
    stack code across multiple instances.

    Another advantage of the Instance Home is that the autoconfig writes only in
    INST_TOP so APPL_TOP and ORACLE_HOME can also be made read only file system if
    required.
