The problem got fixed. It is the OUI problem. It must be upgraded by installing in $O_H and I am installing into the separate location in the same way I installed 9201, ie in a separate directory and starting runInstaller from the new location. Since OUI was not upgraded, it is using the old OUI even though the screen shows it is 10.1.0.2. When I upgraded the OUI ,that is, installed in $O_H, it fixed the problem. Thanks for all those who helped me in resolving the issue. Special thanks to Jesse Rich for pointing in the right direction. -- Janardhana ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
