Advantages and disadvantages of creating multiple product directories on a server for the same ve
Description
It is possible to have multiple product directories (also termed as proddir in Shareplex terminology) for the same version of Shareplex for identical Oracle and OS versions. Though the preferred approach is to let one proddir be used for different Shareplex instance. A Shareplex instance is identified by the environment variable SP_SYS_VARDIR, or in other words there is a unique variable directory (vardir) for a particular Shareplex instance. When you start sp_cop, the product directory is referenced as determined by the Unix environment, and the Shareplex instance is created. So regardless of how you have chosen to set up your binaries (single or multiple), only one such binary will be accessed. This solution delves on the pros and cons of both approaches.
