You really really want to proceed very carefully here.
Multiple inventories are typically the result of installs going into different oracle homes. Merging inventories manually ... I don't think so.
You really need a knowledgeable oracle DBA here to understand the history ... what was done when and why it was done that way. Received on Fri Jul 24 2009 - 09:05:05 CDT
