The default location for the Oracle Database 18c password file is now ORACLE_BASE instead of ORACLE_HOME/dbs. This change enables you to use Oracle Home as a static repository for database files.
The new location simplifies database migrations because ORACLE_BASE is common to every installation’s ORACLE_HOME. Migrating a database from one ORACLE_HOME to another does not require moving the password file:
orapwd file=’$ORACLE_BASE/orapwtest’ password=oracle force=y format=10
