I have a question about Opatch? Can anybody tell me the installation steps of Opatch and how to use this tool in oracle?
Thanks
Hi. Read this Note 306408 - OPatch: Oracle tool for patch installation.

which oracle version are you using?
opatch should be installed automatically by the oracle runinstaller...you may have to patch it...you then have to apply the path to the opatch directory + install perl v.5.8
for example (AIX and Oracle 10.2):
edit the corresponding .dbenv-file (on unix user ora<sid>, on windows user <sid>adm) by appending the line:
> set path = ( $path $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch ) #for c-shell
or:
> PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch; export PATH #for standard shell
exit and login again to make the changes effective...then use the opatch tool in the following way:
test version:
> opatch version
check for patches applied:
> opatch lsinventory
apply interim patches:
> opatch apply <opatch number/directory> -force -silent

Hello Andreas,
you mentioned:
> opatch should be installed automatically by the oracle runinstaller
This is only true for oracle 10g. For oracle 9i it has to be downloaded and installed.
