Summary ORA-1078 During a 9iR2 Install

List,

First of all, I want to thank Mladen Gogala and Bing Wong for their suggestions in helping me resolve my Install problem.

The problem seemed to be not related to Oracle or HPUX, It seemed to be caused by CA's Unicenter TNG Workload Agent. I shutdown all of the Unicenter components and tried the Install again and this time it finished and I was able to open the database.

Thanks again for your help!
