JDeveloper 12c User Home/Default Directory

Do you want to store your JDeveloper 12c files and integrated domain files at specified location?

Here is the solution. There are two ways to set your user home directory.

You only need to use one of the following methods to set the user home directory:

·       

1.             Editing product.conf
2.          Setting the environment variable JDEV_USER_DIR

Simple way is setting JDEV_USER_DIR.

To set the home environment variable on a Windows systems, including individual users of Oracle JDeveloper on a multiuser system, you need to edit the value of JDEV_USER_DIR.

Do the following:

1.        From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel, and then select System.

2.        Click Advanced system settings, then click Environment Variables.

3.        In the User Variables section, click New.

4.        Add JDEV_USER_DIR as a user variable.

5.        Set the value of this variable to your home directory (for example, N:\users\jdoe), and click OK.

Caution:

Do not set the home environment variable to a directory that contains spaces. For example, do not specify c:My Projects as the home directory as there is a space in folder name.

When I install oracle SOA suite 12c I newly hear the word compact Domain. What is compact domain? One major difference between normal domain and compact domain is about managed servers, in compact domain we have only Admin Server and all managed servers are under one configuration so visually we have only Admin server. if we start admin server it will take care about all managed servers internally. It is majorly for the development purpose.it is easy to start and stop.
