Re: Oracle8i Enterprise

Rana,

Here is the way I did it. Install Oracle 8i (database) first in a separate home from Oracle Management Server (these must be installed in separate Homes) then install Oracle Forms & Reports 6i. Make sure they are in separate Homes. Example: If Oracle 8i is in Home named Ora81 and Oracle Management Server is in Home name Ora82, then you should create Ora83 as a Home for Oracle Forms & Reports 6i. I have been told that by Oracle support that Oracle Forms & Reports 6i must be installed before the other two but this does not make sense. I was told in addition by support that if I put Oracle Forms & Reports 6i on a separate drive I should be o.k. and since I have two drives in my computer this is what I did, and it works fine and I have not had any problems. One last thing, in your environmental path the last installed Home i.e. in my case Ora83 (where Oracle Forms & Reports 6i is installed) must be the first home entry in the list. Example: Ora83;Ora82;Ora81;. Hope this helps.
