I missed the steps on the first page of the chapter 3. Now I am running the upgrade with oracle automatically tools. It seem taking very time to go through. I have a question about the Configurtion tools at the end of upgrading. My Agent Configuration Assistant show status of Failed (detailes as Parameter "orahome" = E:\oracle\ora92 and parameter "nodeinfo" = no_value> does it matter? Can I come back latter to fix the problem, just let this stage finish first? If one of tool installation takes long time to configuration, Can I skip it? (on the page, Oracle says these tools are option.) The uograde in done a NT 4 w sp6 platform machine.
