We implemented a few different vendor packages onto one Unix server.  We are now looking to upgrade oracle (and Solaris) and are having problems finding a common version that all packages can run on.  I have been asked to propose a different strategy going forward, so that we have more flexibility for upgrades, etc.  I would like to hear how others have implemented and supported the vendor-provided package scenario. Thanks in advance - Lisa
