Setting ORACLE_HOME

485766Sep 12 2006 — edited Sep 13 2006

I am trying to specify the location for ORACLE_HOME using a link instead of the actual directory on linux. For example:
ln -s /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0 myorahome

Then in /etc/oratab reference myorahome

I can't get this work and am wondering if 1) is it possible or 2) is there another why to do this.

We have several applications and other 3rd party products that require specifying the ORACLE_HOME as part of the installation. I am trying to come up with a way that I can avoid having to change go into each of these products when I change oracle homes for an instance when upgrading.

Thanks for your feedback.
