Application Top is a physical folder on server which holds all the executable, UI and support files.
 
We have two different types of Application Tops

  1. Product Top
  2. Custom Top

 
Product Top:
Product top is the default top built by the manufacturer. This is usually called as APPL_TOP which stores all components provided by the Oracle.
 
Custom Top:
Custom top can be defined as the customer top which is created exclusively for customers. According to the requirement of the client many number of customer tops can be made. Custom top is made used for the purpose of storing components, which are developed as well as customized. At the time when the oracle corporation applies patches, every module other than custom top are overridden.
