Jeff,
I have installed 10g on our company Linux testing server. Unfortunately this server has been reinstalled next day by sysadmins. I haven’t chance to investigate this on Unix like system. At the moment our team have task to migrate one of DW development project (customer pushed to do, and pay for it ;) from 9.2.0.5 to 10.1.0.3. It will be done in few weeks. Then I definitely have some comments of OFA changes. .
At the moment I am going to spend my 2 weeks long vocation. Thank you all!
By the 2 months I have read this mailing list, I have obtained materially more useful information, then during last Open World in Paris
(I am not going to take part in OW as visitor any more. I am going to Hotsos symposium ;)
.
Thanks Again,
Jurijs

PS Jeff, I have 10.1.0.2 DB on my Win2000 laptop, since 10g have been released. I haven’t found any relevant changes on Win32 OFA structure. Regarding Registry structure changing: I don’t care. I haven’t used OH switch, anyway, all the time I switched between homes manually. This installation is just for proving of concepts, after we will use 10g for a while it will be more comments on it.
