For the COLLOCATED Installation Type, select the same ORACLE HOME the Infrastructure installation created

Standalone Mode:

If you do not require Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) Infrastructure and just wish to install Oracle Internet Directory, then it is referred to as Standalone Mode. In this mode, OID and DIP must be managed via the command line and not the GUI interface Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) or Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (EM FMWc) associated with the FMW Infrastructure. The FMW Infrastructure also includes a full WebLogic Server, ADF, OPSS, and other components, generally not required for an LDAP server.  The advantage of OID Standalone may be to provide a database and LDAP server to many applications from a separately secured server with a minimal footprint.

Collocated Mode:

If you require Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle Internet Directory, then it is referred to as Collocated Mode.  In this case install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.4.0) first, followed by the Oracle Internet Directory 12c (12.2.1.4). Both Infrastructure and Oracle Internet Directory must be installed in the same Oracle Home, hence the collocated terminology.

 Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution provides Weblogic Server, ADF Runtime, and advanced features such as OPSS and Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (EM FMWc) along with supporting Metadata Repository schemas and configuration of Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM). The FMW Infrastructure is a prerequisite for all other FMW products, except those that offer a standalone option (e.g. Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Internet Directory).
