inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/oraInventory inst_group=oinstall on rhel I am running 10.2.0.1 and want to apply patchset 10.2.0.2 Here is what I am running into when I run the Oracle Installer: 1. clicking on installed products or Deinstall Products tells me there are no installed products 2. clicking on the next button tells me "Unable to create a new central inventory at location....." 3. If I point the inventory to a new location, the drop down button for Name and Path is greyed out, telling me that the installer does not see the current crs and db installation. I have set my environmental variables and check that I am logged in as Oracle. ________________________________ From: sol beach [mailto:sol.beach@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 7:25 PM To: Steiner, Randy Subject: Re: patchset installation what is displayed by cat /etc/oraInst.loc find / -name oraInventory -ls On Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 3:52 PM, Steiner, Randy <Randy.Steiner@xxxxxxxx> wrote: rhel 3 update 4. -----Original Message----- From: sol beach [mailto:sol.beach@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 6/5/2008 4:51 PM To: Steiner, Randy Subject: Re: patchset installation Why does OUI not find the inventory tree?
