Hi, On Linux OUI is looking for inventory in /etc/oraInst.ora (in other systems it can be /var/oracle) [oracle@piorovm ~]$ cat /etc/oraInst.loc inventory_loc=/u01/app/oraInventory inst_group=oinstall You can edit that file and change inventory_loc to other location. -- Marcin Przepiorowski http://oracleprof.blogspot.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
