Single Oracle Home Components
Required Oracle7 Server SQL*Net Patch Releases
When migrating from Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.2 or 7.3.3 to Release 3 (8.1.7), install the appropriate patch of SQL*Net in the 7.3.2 or 7.3.3 Oracle home before migrating with either Oracle Data Migration Assistant or the Migration Utility.
Migration fails if you do not install the appropriate versions of SQL*Net. This table describes the required SQL*Net patch releases. Obtain these patches and installation instructions from Oracle Support Services.

Single Oracle Home Components
Most Oracle components can be installed multiple times on the same computer. However, the following components can only be installed once per computer:
■
■
■
Oracle Objects for OLE
Oracle Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Driver
Oracle Provider for OLE DB
If you attempt to install these components a second time, Oracle Universal Installer detects that these products are already installed in another Oracle Home and automatically removes them from the installation process without prompting you. The following information is logged to the INSTALLACTIONS.LOG file in the X:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE\INVENTORY\LOGS directory.
# product_name is a single oracle home product. It is already installed in currently_installed_location.
If you are performing an installation and notice that one or more single Oracle Home components are not available for installation during the current session, check to see if any of these components or any previous versions of these components are installed in another Oracle Home. If you want to install these in the currently selected Oracle Home, you must first deinstall the conflicting version(s).
See Also: Appendix A, "Individual Components Available for Installation" for the installation types under which these components are installed.
