I need to have 8i and 9i on the same unix server, same mount point and need to keep the jre functional for the 8i. I don't really care if the oraInventory stays in the 8i environment. The production environment will continue functioning on the 8i after the 9i install and needs to keep the 8i tools working. Does anyone have a solution on how to keep the 8i jre functional once the 9i is installed?
I've tried altering the PATH and CLASSPATH and setting the ORACLE_BASE pre-installation for 9. So far I haven't found the right solution.
I have Solaris 8, 8.1.7 and 9.2.0.1.

thanks for any suggestions
