Re: Newbie Q: Patch Set issues

Thanks to all who has responded.  Its nice to know i have this forum to
learn from.  Turns out my oraInventory file was missing or possibly stepped
on by the OEM Agent install

after attempting to locate it on the server, i ended up laying down a fresh
install, patching up to 9207, migrating the db to the new home.

thanks again to all!  Especially for the information provided on a daily
basis

Update:

I have been searching around and it appears the named Oracle_Home does not
exist for this install.  I'm thinking either it got stepped on or
erroneously deleted.  is there a way to create a named home without doing an
install?

At this point I cant really install over the top can i ?
