Hi all,
Solaris 8 - SS20 Oracle 8.1.6.2
I wanted to apply the patch set rel 3 for oracle 8.1.6.
I downloaded the file which was in .zip format. I uzipped it into a patch directory. Then the instructions say to execute the ./runinstaller from CD or from the top level base directory of the Oracle 8.1.6 CD. I executed it from the Oracle 8.1.6 CD as the OUI does not come in the patchset.
It brought up the OUI and I specified the source as
/pat8163/stage/products.jar file and
left destination as ORACLE_HOME and I pressed NEXT.
It asks for group and I entered 'dba' and again, no INSTALL button as
specified in the release notes but only NEXT button is available.
So I pressed NEXT and it talks about executing the oraInstroot.sh as user
'root' in another window.
I wanted to know if this procedure is correct because the release notes says press INSTALL after it displays the list of products.
Should I execute oraInstroot.sh as USER root in another window and then continue? How does one apply the patch set?
It seems that they make everything very unusually difficult for the smallest things. The release notes say one thing and what I see on my screen is another. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
