Take a look at the Oracle 8i Mogration Guide, part number A86632-01 (available on Technet). In particular, review all the steps in Chapter 7. You can either have the installer do the migration for you, or do it manually. I just did a migration from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.1.3 on NT 4 Sp6a following the instructions in the document above and had no issues. FWIW, I followed the manual path ;-)

Best of Luck!

anybody on the list who has been there, done that, and let us know what kind of caveats we might run into or just outline the steps we should go through. I know Oracle provide a GUI tool for this but I don't know if it's that reliable.
