Fix Text (F-26114r1_fix)
Develop, document and implement DBMS software baseline procedures that include all DBMS software files and directories under the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and any custom and platform-specific directories. Generate a list of files, directories and details for the DBMS software configuration baseline. Update the configuration baseline after new installations, upgrades/updates or maintenance activities that include changes to the baseline software.
