The directory in which you install Oracle Application Server is called the Oracle home. 
During installation, you specify the full path to this directory and a name for this 
Oracle home.

For example, you can install OracleAS Infrastructure in /opt/oracle/OraHome_
Infra

, and you can name it "Infra".

Names of Oracle homes must be 128 characters or fewer, and can contain only 
alphanumeric characters and underscores.
