Why the controlfile and spfile autobackup goes to $ORACLE_HOME\database folder instead of flash_recovery_area\prod\AUTOBACKUP folder.

This is my rman env:

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\PROD\AUTOBACKUP\SNCFPROD.ORA';

Thanks

Because that is the default, If you want it to go elsewhere, configure it kinda like this:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'D:\flash_recovery_area\prod\AUTOBACKUP\%F'; 

PS: Code the correct full path/location.

Thanks for the input.
I don't understand why this has changed by itself.

I'm pretty sure that the default was in AUTOBACKUP folder with the same structure like for backupsets and archivelogs (separate daily folders).

If I do what you said, the autobackup goes in the right place, but without the folder structure.

Is that due to some upgrade, or patch?
