  Have
  you upgraded those databases?  Its no longer possible to   just
  copy
  ORACLE_HOME and expect to be able to upgrade it.  That   being

  it
  was just as easy to install the software.    <SPAN

  You
  could do a full system copy though.

      Copy Oracle's binary.
      Hello,
       
      I've two machines (with the same unix's 
      configuration on Sun Solaris). On has Oracle 8.1.7. installed and a 
      database. Do you think it's possible to copy Oracle's binary and the 
      database on Unix level to the new serveur instead of installing and 
      cloning the db ?
       
      Thank you very much.
