Oracle Patch Installation

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I am installing the oracle 1g patch.

I have downloaded the patches Patchset_10204_HPUX-IA64aa.bin ab, ac and ad patches.

I have copy these patch files in /tmp/oraclepatche directory and executed the command from ORA<SID> user as below

>opatch apply /tmp/oraclepatch

then it is giving the arror as below

Patch history file: /oracle/DVR/102_64/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch_history.txt

OPatch cannot find a valid oraInst.loc file to locate Central Inventory.

OPatch failed with error code 104

Please also see the below log

INFO:Please delete .patch_storage directory ONLY IF NO PATCH IS APPLIED

This is because OPatch was not able to delete this directory which

was only created to run script for getting environment variables

No manual deletion may result in OPatch wrongly detecting irregular inventory fo

r future invocation.

Those patches are a patchset. You have to concatenate the files to a zip file, unpack it and run runInstaller according to the Readme.htm that's in the file.
