Thanks, I've got a different lead to follow-up for now.

I'll let the list know what happens... 


Thanks!

You can copy the oracle inventory files from SID1.  If your directory
structure is consistent, the installer should allow you to proceed
with the patch.  Check the file Dennis mentions below to see where
Oracle is expecting to find the files.  If you've already patched
SID1, you would have to find a backup with a pre-patch version of the
inventory.

Or if you've already patched SID1, recopy SID1 executables to SID2,
relink and run the cat scripts for the SID database(s).  Bring the
oracle inventory files too and you'll be ready for the next patch.
