Susan, Aren't the 9i client libraries still required for the app server to talk to the database during the upgrade? I hear your pain. Luckily we have always timed our AR System upgrades with hardware upgrades and were able to do clean installs on those machines. Then migrated all our custom workflow and data. Still a lot of work but I think a little less painful. Dave

You're only stopping briefly at v6.x. The reason for the stop is to update the Group and User forms and probably a few other things. Having done this upgrade over 25 times in recent months, all I did at v6.x was make sure I could connect to the database. In our 6.3 upgrade (on windows) portmap.exe was always missing so I couldn't test from the user or admin tools. We did the oracle 9 to 10g upgrade too. Not a happy scene. Last year I was so excited to get to upgrade to v7. Did the dev server last August and then got waylayed by other IT priorities. Finally the production server got its turn and try #1 in April bombed, try #1 in May bombed, but try #3 in June went in. I was so happy. The install actually was smooth with everything testing out great. I knew things would popup but it was looking good. If I knew 2 weeks ago (6/27) what I know today I would have screamed to me .... step away from the upgrade ... do not touch 5.1.2 ... do not touch the system that just ran and ran and ran .... do not torch your life. Just something to think about. Susan On 7/10/07, CLG-29 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello All, We are (finally!) upgrading ARS from 5.1.2 to 7.0.1. At the same time, we are upgrading Oracle from 9i to 10g. Right now, we are setting up our sandbox test environment by taking an Oracle backup and restoring it onto a test UNIX server. This went onto the server under /opt/oracle9. My DBA followed this up with upgrading Oracle to 10g on this box, using a new location of /opt/oracle13. When we run the intermediary 6.3 install, we get the following error in /tmp/arDBErrorLog: /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libclntsh.sl.9.0 /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory Tue Jul 10 16:27:52 PDT 2007 It appears that something is looking for an Oracle 9 client library but, since we now have Oracle 10 on this server, this doesn't make sense ... or does it? Can somebody please let me know what I have to do to get rid of this error? Thanks much!
