Oracle installer setings

[Carlos Fernandez Riera]

Hi all:

Once again at night. We are trying to update from 8.1.7 to 8.1.7.2.

The original $ORACLE_HOME was /usr/oracle817. Now we have set to /usr/oracle8/8.1.7. So we had a ln -s /usr/oracle8 /usr/oracle817.

We like to remove references to /usr/oracle817 but we dont find which file contains this data.

Thanks

Try /var/opt/oracle/oraInventory. This file should have the location of the original Oracle install. Just change it. Hope this helps.

Thanks Santosh. We cant find where oracle saves the catalog of products loaded.

It is the second time i find this problem. First i created the link, and solve the problem.

Action canceled.

MOVING ORACLE_HOME
==================

*******************************************************************************
NOTE: There is no straightforward way to change ORACLE_HOME on 8.1.x and still
be able to apply patches or make changes with the Installer. The
location of the ORACLE_HOME is stored in binaries under oraInventory,
and there is no way to change these without reinstalling. The bottom
line, for 8.1.x, is that ORACLE_HOME should only be changed by
reinstalling.
