2 products installed in this Oracle Home

Our security scanner is indicating that our Oracle 10g install has a vulnerability that should have been address with the install of CPUApr2011.  Our server is patched with every 10g CPU until end of life in Aug 2013, so I know it is a false failure.  But one question that I have is that the opatch lsinventory command indicates that I have 2 products installed in my Oracle home:
Installed Top-level Products (2):
Oracle Database 10g                                                                    10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Patch Set 4                           10.2.0.5.0a
There are 2 products installed in this Oracle Home.
What is that actually telling me?  Do I actually have 2 installs of Oracle in that home?
Thanks in advance

You have installed 10.2.0.1.0 released base, and over this 10.2.0.5. You release is 10.2.0.5.
You can verify this by
i) from sqlplus execute at command line "sqlplus -version"
ii) into the database "select * from v$version"

    What errors are you getting, I take it you have updated the Oracle home and JRE location to match your environment.

  • Installed 2 10g oracle homes and get ora-12557

    hi,
    I have installed 2 oracle 10g homes and now cannot connect to sqlplus as sysdba
    the error is 0ra-12557, TNS protocol adapter not loasdable.
    the installation is on windows 2003 server
    everything was fine until the second oracle home was added.
    help is appreciated

    Typically this a PATH variable problem
    The golden rule is to install the oldest product first.
    Then make sure you path has the right ORACLE_HOME/bin 's
    In the right order.
    Remeber if you run say sqlplus from ORACLE-HOME1 it will look in
    ORACLE_HOME1/network/admin for its tnsnames files etc
    If you run sqlplus fom ORACLE_HOME2 then it will look in
    ORACLE_HOME2/network/badmin
    I always clone the network config files so they are the same in all homes.
    You have to be a little bit careful about this. FOr instance I have forms 6i wihich uses Net 8 so I can't exacly clode the tnsnames etries.
    But you get the picture.
    And generally make sure ORACLE_HOME is not set in your windows environment.
    Ths will cause problems.

    I was able to resolve this issue by installing 11.1.1.2 full version into the existing middleware home, and then applying patch 11.1.1.5.

    Hello Anu,
    this information comes from the "Global Inventory".
    Metalinknote #360079.1 describes this:
    Global Inventory
    The Global Inventory is the part of the XML inventory that contains the high level list of all oracle products installed on a machine. There should therefore be only one per machine. Its location is defined by the content of oraInst.loc.
    The Global Inventory records the physical location of Oracle products installed on the machine, such as ORACLE_HOMES (RDBMS and IAS) or JRE. It does not have any information about the detail of patches applied to each ORACLE_HOMEs.
    The Global Inventory gets updated every time you install or de-install an ORACLE_HOME on the machine, be it through OUI Installer, Rapid Install, or Rapid Clone.
    Note: If you need to delete an ORACLE_HOME, you should always do it through the OUI de-installer in order to keep the Global Inventory synchronized.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • How to select Oracle Home

    Probably an embarrasingly simple question but nevertheless it has me stuck. I just installed Oracle 11gR1 on a windows server 2008 box and now have both Oracle 10gR2 and Oracle 11gR1 installed. The Oracle Home Selector is no longer available from the start menu and the installation guide suggests using the Universal Installer to choose between homes. I am unable to figure out how to do this. Please guide me. Thanks.
    Bill Wagman

    The HomeSelector has now been folded into OUI. The following steps would help in accomplishing this task:
    Bring up the Oracle 10g Installer and Click on Installed Products. Then go to the Environment tab.
    Here you can find the HomeSelector which uses the OUI inventory to list the homes. The old Home Selector used the registry entries to look at the installed homes. But in Oracle 10g the registry entries use the KEY_ format.
    Hence the old Home Selector will not be able to see Oracle 10g homes in the list. If you want to switch between 8i, 9i and 10g Homes, use the Home Selector which is available inside the 10g installer.

  • Regarding Multiple Oracle Homes

    Hello,
    Does all of the Oracle products support multiple homes ?
    Can oracle 8i and oracle 8 products be kept in same oracle home ?
    thanks
    null

    Hi Raj,
    To answer your first question, No, not all of Oracle products
    support multiple homes. All Oracle7 products and all release
    8.0.3 are non-multiple Oracle home products. Oracle 8i lite
    cannot support multiple oracle homes either.
    In regards to your second question, no Oracle8i and and Oracle
    8.0 products cannot be kept in the same Oracle home. Releases
    prior to 8.1.3 cannot be installed in an Oracle home that was
    created by a release of 8.1.3, 8.1.4 or 8.1.5.
    Hope that helps,
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Can't install in the Oracle folder .

    During setting up the installation, it doesn't allows me to install in the oracle home directory.
    Should I install in a new directory ?

    Hi,
    The OMWB uses specific database dependencies. So OMWB 9.2.0.1.0 will not install into an Oracle 9iR1
    home only into an Oracle9R2 home.
    Luckly the OMWB is bundeled with all the dependencies it needs, so you can install it into its own home (directory)
    Example:
    D:\OMWB
    I hope this helps,
    Dermot.

  • Multiple oracle homes on unix?

    We have 3 databases with the same oracle home. we want to move them to separate oracle homes(not going to explain the reasons, but the decision was done).
    so we install 2 more oracle homes. How do we point databases to different oracle homes?

    You do not need to move the database datafiles, copy them or anything of the sort.
    Backing them up is always a good idea before making changes to the system like this.
    Here are the things that I have found that you need to be aware of you the unix platforms.
    /etc/oratab (and sometimes /var/opt/oracle/oratab depending on whom setup the system and how). This tells is a file that is used to tell Oracle the home of each database. (Research oratab for more detailed information)
    If you are going to apply patches to the different Oracle Homes I find often that I have to have my System Administrator change the oraInst.loc file to point to the correct Oracle Home that I want to patch. (Research oraInst.loc file for more detailed information).
    Is management going to make you have a different listener for each database? If so so research Multiple Listeners for Oracle databases for more detailed information.
    And of course you did need to hit the highlights that everyone else has mentioned about the configuration files:
    Move everything under the current $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory to the $NEWORACLE_HOME/dbs directory for the database being moved.
    Edit the files as needed ( you don't HAVE to change things like the controlfile location or the dump file locations, but you may want to).

  • Removing an Oracle Home

    What is the best way to remove an Oracle Home?
    After removing all the products in a Home, I want to remove this Oracle Home. I can do it by editing the Windows Registry, but I don't think it's safe.

    It would have been safer to use the Oracle Home Selector ( software ) developped by Oracle that allows to remove or properly delete the Home.
    It however worths to use it even if all your files have manually been deleted.

  • Installing 2 different Oracle DBs

    Can you install both Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g on the same computer?

    You can install as many Oracle Homes as your host is able to manage. You should be aware that if you are using the same listener port for all the oracle homes you should use the one at the latest oracle version, i.e. if you are planning to install both, 10g and 11g, you should use the 11g listener to perform connections to the 10g databases.
    One more thing you should be aware of is the PATH environment variable, you should properly handle it, otherwise you may face estrange behaviors.

  • Multiple Oracle Home support 9i and 10g

    I have 9i and 10g clients installed in separate oracle homes.
    When I switch to 9i home my application is still using 10g OLE DB.
    Is there any way that I can activate 9i OLEDB when 9i home is active and vice-versa?
    Thanks

  • Is my Oracle Home used?

    Hi,
    I have a task to uninstall all the unused Oracle Homes from a server.
    But before doing that, I want to know whether there are any databases running on that particular home or not? How do I find that?
    I checked /etc/oratab file and confirmed that there are no databases associated with this unused Oracle Homes.
    Do I have to check some other location? Is there any command to check whether this Oracle Home is being used or not?
    Please help me out!
    Thanks!

  • CRS install fails Oracle home incompatibility checks  ( 10G )

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install RAC for 10.2.0 . The first step is to install cluster Ready Services ( On red hat linux ) . When it does the product specific prequisite checks, it fails on "Checking for Oracle home incompatibilities".
    I get the error " Oracle clusterware cannot be installed into an existing oracle home".
    I did a previous attempt at an install which failed. I have completely deleted the
    /oracle/product/10.2.0/crs directory which was previously created.
    If I check the environment variables, I get :
    [oracle@rac1 db_1]$ env | grep -i home
    HOME=/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    So, in my thinking there is no trace now of a previous home for CRS.
    So why am I getting the error ??
    Thanks
    George

    It seems taht you have not cleared the inventory..As menioned earlier use OUI to remove the oracle_home from inventory. In case you do not wish to use the existing ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 or any other Oracle Installation on this server, then you can go ahead and remove the inventory itself.
    You can use Note:239998.1 for the various files to be removed for cleaning up CRS..
