Different Oracle Homes
Raghavarao RV, August 03, 2005 - 10:28 am UTC
Hi Tom
When we install Oracle 8.1.7 and D2k, the oracle creates it own home directory Oracle_Home and after that if we install, D2k, it tries to create its own home Default_home. If we install in this order (first oracle and second d2k) both are not working because of two homes.
When I installed the same in reverse order i.e., D2k first with "Default_home" and next Oracle 8.1.7 with Oracle_Home both are working fine.
Why it is so?
Another related query:
If because of some problem if I uninstall and remove all the registery entries (as d2k doesn't remove the registry entries and folders and icons) and try to re-install the Oracle 8.1.7, it shows all the oracle_homes which are previously installed like in this example, oracle_home and default home. If we give a new home as Ora_home, it is also coming in the next installation.
My question is after removing the *_home entries from the registry and removing all the oracle related folders, where are these homes stored? and how to remove those entries also?
Thanks in Advance

define "not working", it could be a matter as simple as "you have to use the oracle home selector to set up your default oracle home"
but installation and configuration issues --> best handled by support. I haven't installed d2k in years and years (and pretty much the same with 817)
different homes

Hi Tom
1. "Not working" in sense, I am not able to connect to the database or enterprise manager. It gives an error related to "NLS" and comes out. The application doesn't work.
2. This problem even I have got while installing Oracle 9i client in a client machine. After installation, as the system is not showing oracle driver in ODBC drivers list, I have uninstalled and remove the registry entries and I installed the client again giving different home. While installing, it was showing the previous homes and a particular folder is attached to each home.
For example I have installed oracle 9i client in c:\ora9i with oracle_home.
In the next install (second time install), I changed the directory folder to c:\ora90 and home as Ora_home as the installer not allowing to change the home name to different name with the same folder.
My question is where these home names are stored even after deleting the registry entries?
Request you to please provide a solution or any link which can give some information related to this. Why because, I am not able to configure oracle 9i client and oracle 9i drive in a client machine.
Thanks and regards

1) too vague, I cannot respond to that.
My car won't start.
It makes a funny noise.
Why won't it start?
You likely have a configuration issue (eg: back to oracle home selector)
2) please utilize support for installation and configuration issues, especially with software so old.

Hi Tom
Sorry to trouble you by giving the same sort of query. I have expected that you might give a link to get the solution. However, with your inspiration, I have tried my self and found the solution for the different homes problem.
While installing, the software creates a folder called oracle\inventory in local machine - program files folder, and stores some pages with the information related to the installation whcih stores the *.homes, directories which will be referred at the time of next installation. By deleting those files / entire that oracle\inventory folder, the traces left out were also cleaned up and in the next installation, it treat it as fresh installation. This has sorted out my problem.
Thanks and Regards
