Doug,
I wrote the below without noticing that it was a winframe server.
I haven't used a winframe server before.
So, if it was a normal PC I would do what is below. I would probably do the
same thing on a winframe server - I would just want to try it on a test
server first.
805 on NT is not multiple-home compliant.
So, you need to install 805 before you install 817 (install them into
separate homes).
So what I would do is:
Backup Oracle configuration files
Do a total remove of Oracle off the client (ie registry, files, icons etc)
Install 8.0.5 (eg into \oracle\product\805)
Install 8.1.7 into its own home (eg into \oracle\product\817)
I would maintain only 1 set of Oracle networking files.
eg create d:\oracle\admin\tns_admin
Create a system environment variable tns_admin with a value of
d:\oracle\admin\tns_admin
Put sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora into d:\oracle\admin\tns_admin

I need to get an 8.0.5 client and an 8.1.7 client working on the same
machine.
Currently, the 8.1.7 is the only one installed. This is an NT
winframe/metaframe server running NT 4.0. Some apps use the 8.1.7 client
and
some will require the 8.0.5.
Any suggestions before I start the surgery?
Thanks,
Doug
