Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to the Oracle Universal Installer tool (runInstaller) and oraInventory management for Oracle 8.1 installations and subsequent patch sets. Key challenges include error messages during patch set installations indicating no need for patches, misreported database migration status, and various problems around the oraInventory directory, including invalid directory states and missing files essential for installation. Resolutions include validating environment variables, ensuring proper user permissions, and confirming oraInventory contents.
