Install log
A brief description of each component is as follows:
Oracle
Inventory
: OUI manages a repository named Oracle Inventory. This is where
Oracle keeps track of what is installed on the target machine. There is a single Oracle
inventory for each host. The Oracle Inventory consists of a set of files whose location
is kept in the
oraInst.loc
file (Unix like OS) or in the
inst_loc
(Windows) registry
entry. The Oracle inventory has gone through an evolutionary process, and back
in version 9.2.0.4.0 a major format change took place. The format used on releases
prior to 9.2.0.4.0 is not compatible with the format that came thereafter, so mixing
the inventory with old versions is not possible.
