Fix DMPDIR handling and datafile auto-detection for ROA Windows setup

- New-OracleDirectory: Improved verification with direct SQL check, preserves
  existing DMPDIR path instead of blindly recreating
- Get-DatafilePath: Better fallback logic using ORACLE_HOME to derive path,
  no longer hardcodes C:\app\oracle
- grants-public.sql: Fixed DMPDIR creation - now preserves existing path
  instead of overriding with wrong D:\Oracle\admin\ORCL\dpdump
- config.example.ps1: Added DATAFILE_DIR parameter with documentation

These fixes ensure scripts work without manual intervention on fresh Oracle XE
installations where default DMPDIR points to non-existent paths.

Tested on VM 302 - full installation (01-08) now completes successfully.

+# 1. Uninstall existing ROA (if any)
+cd C:\roa-setup
+.\scripts\99-uninstall-roa.ps1 -SystemPassword "romfastsoft" -Force
+
+# 2. Run full installation

+```
+
+### Individual Script Test
+
+```powershell
+cd C:\roa-setup
+
+# Use Run.cmd wrapper (handles ExecutionPolicy)

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Oracle Service Not Running
+
+```powershell
+# Check service
+Get-Service OracleServiceXE
+
+# Start service
+Start-Service OracleServiceXE
+
+# Check listener
+lsnrctl status
+```
+
+### DMPDIR Points to Wrong Path
+
+Oracle XE has a pre-existing DMPDIR that points to `D:\Oracle\admin\ORCL\dpdump`.
+The setup scripts should now handle this automatically, but to verify/fix manually:
+
+```sql
+-- Check existing directories
+SELECT directory_name, directory_path FROM dba_directories WHERE directory_name = 'DMPDIR';
+
+-- If pointing to wrong path, recreate
+DROP DIRECTORY DMPDIR;
+CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DMPDIR AS 'C:\DMPDIR';
+GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY DMPDIR TO PUBLIC;
+```
+
+**Note:** The `New-OracleDirectory` function in `oracle-functions.ps1` now automatically
+detects and corrects this issue (drops and recreates if path differs).
+
+### DATAFILE_DIR Wrong Path
+
+If tablespace creation fails with ORA-01119, check the datafile path in config.ps1:
+
+```powershell
+# Check actual datafile location
+sqlplus -S sys/romfastsoft@10.0.20.130:1521/XEPDB1 "as sysdba" <<< "SELECT file_name FROM dba_data_files WHERE ROWNUM = 1;"
+
+# Common paths:
+# Oracle XE typical: C:\app\<user>\product\21c\oradata\XE\XEPDB1
+# Not:              C:\app\<user>\oradata\XE\XEPDB1  (missing 'product\21c')
+```
+
+Fix in config.ps1:
+```powershell
+$DATAFILE_DIR = "C:\app\romfast\product\21c\oradata\XE\XEPDB1"
+```
+
+### Permission Error on C:\DMPDIR
+
+```powershell
+# Grant Oracle service permissions
+icacls C:\DMPDIR /grant "NT SERVICE\OracleServiceXE:(OI)(CI)F" /T
+```
+
+### PDB Not Open
+
+```sql
+-- Connect as SYSDBA to CDB
+sqlplus sys/romfastsoft@localhost:1521/XE as sysdba
+
+-- Open PDB
+ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE XEPDB1 OPEN;
+ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE XEPDB1 SAVE STATE;
+```
+
+### Script Execution Policy Error
+
+```powershell
+# Use Run.cmd wrapper instead of direct execution
+.\Run.cmd 01-setup-database.ps1
+
+# Or set policy manually (Admin PowerShell)
+Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
+```
+
+### Check Logs
+
+```powershell
+# View latest log
+Get-ChildItem C:\roa-setup\logs\ | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 5
+
+# Read specific log
+Get-Content C:\roa-setup\logs\01-setup-database_*.log
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deploying Updated Scripts
+
+### From WSL/Linux
+
+```bash
+# Copy all scripts to VM
+scp -r /mnt/e/proiecte/ROMFASTSQL/proxmox/lxc108-oracle/roa-windows-setup/* romfast@10.0.20.130:C:/roa-setup/
+```
+
+### From Windows
+
+```powershell
+# Copy from network share or local path
+Copy-Item -Recurse E:\proiecte\ROMFASTSQL\proxmox\lxc108-oracle\roa-windows-setup\* C:\roa-setup\ -Force
+```
+
+### Quick Script Update (single file)
+
+```bash
+# Update specific script
+scp /mnt/e/proiecte/ROMFASTSQL/proxmox/lxc108-oracle/roa-windows-setup/scripts/03-import-contafin.ps1 romfast@10.0.20.130:C:/roa-setup/scripts/
+```
+
+---
+
+## VM Snapshots
+
+### Create Snapshot (for quick restore)
+
+```bash
+# Before testing
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm snapshot 302 pre-test --description 'Before ROA test'"
+
+# List snapshots
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm listsnapshot 302"
+```
+
+### Restore Snapshot
+
+```bash
+# Restore to clean state
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm rollback 302 pre-test"
+```
+
+### Delete Snapshot
+
+```bash
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm delsnapshot 302 pre-test"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Clone VM for Parallel Testing
+
+```bash
+# Clone VM 302 to VM 303
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm clone 302 303 --name oracle-test-303 --full"
+
+# Start new VM
+ssh root@10.0.20.201 "qm start 303"
+
+# Note: Change IP in Windows after boot (Network Settings)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- VM 302 is cloned from template VM 300 (clean Windows + Oracle XE)
+- Oracle XE has 2GB RAM limit - sufficient for testing
+- DMP files are already in C:\DMPDIR (persisted between tests)
+- Uninstall script preserves DMP files
