Error installing interim patches - Oracle 10 - 10.2.0.4.0

[former_member189462]

Hi experts!

We are currently installing an ERP 6.0 system on SOLARIS 10. After installing Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and respective patch set, the follpwing error is obtained while trying to install interim patches. Actually the first one was installed without problems...but starting from the second one....the bellow error is logged.

This is the log in /oracle/DB2/102_64/cfgtoollogs/mopatch:

(A) Comparing object file "/oracle/SID/102_64/MOPatch/mopatch-IJaqhf/5561212/files/lib/libserver10.a/kkj.o" to the object entry "kkj.o" inside the .a file "/oracle/SID/

102_64/lib/libserver10.a"

2 files are identical? TRUE

Cleaning up "/oracle/SID/102_64/.patch_storage/verify/jar" under "/oracle/SID/102_64", "verify".

Cleaning up "/oracle/SID/102_64/.patch_storage/verify/archive" under "/oracle/SID/102_64", "verify".

Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 5561212 are present in Oracle Home.

The local system has been patched and can be restarted.

OPatch succeeded.

Cannot clean up unpacked patch. Continuing.

Processing patch "p5561212_10204_Solaris-64.zip"...done.

Processing patch "p5747462_10204_Solaris-64.zip"...(2 of 47)

Processing patch "p5747462_10204_Solaris-64.zip"...failed.

Reason: Cannot clean up temporary patch staging directory.

Could you please let know how to solve this issue? What is the "temporary patch staging directory" the mopatch is not able to clean up? Btw...the process is being run under oraSID user an permissions seems to be ok.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

Firstly, check you patched latest mopatch (mopatch-2_1_10.zip) and applied to your system. Secondly, try to apply the single patch, by opatch and check the result.

Hi Oruk,

The mopatch has been downloaded from service market place before starting the process. I assume this should be the latest version. Also, opatch has been updated (current version 10.2.0.4.5).

I'll follow your suggestion to apply patches individually by using optach. However...Can someone confirm what the 'temporary patch staging directory' is?

Thanks to all for your responses.

Hi,

>> Can someone confirm what the 'temporary patch staging directory' is?

It is the temporary area to unzip the packages which is "oracle/SID/102_64/.patch_storage". Please find the detailed information in the note 1027012 - MOPatch - Install Multiple Oracle Patches in One Run, under "Appendix A. Free Disk Space and Automatic Clean-Up" title.

Hi Diego,

Processing patch "p5747462_10204_Solaris-64.zip"...failed.

Reason: Cannot clean up temporary patch staging directory.

Are the permissions for these zip files and the directory containing this file OK ?

I think OPatch/MOPatch program is trying to access the directory /oracle/SID/102_64/.patch_storage, once try to verify the permissions of '.patch_storage'

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Permissions on the zip files seem to be ok...actually the MOPatch was able to apply the first one patch....but fails trying to apply the subsequent ones. Also the .stage_patch directory has the right permissions.

Thanks
