All,

We have a AIX 5.2 box serving a new 9.2 database. We also installed the OID software on this box. Oid requires it's own database. So we have two instances on this machine.

We received notice from Oracle that a security patch (#62) was required. We were applying the patch and it failed because some Java stuff needed to be installed separatly first.

Now I'm wondering if we should have created two Oracle Homes - one for the production database and one for the OID database. I'm worried that we will always have problems keeping these two instances sharing the same Oracle home.

Anybody got an opinion?
