Hi ,
I am trying to install the OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 apss with odi on a virtual machine. I have installed ODI, OBI, ran the rcu for bi apps and installed the bi aspps also succesfullly without any error. I am trying to apply patches and I am getting below errors when I run the perl scripts as per the instructions.

I gave all the paths correctly in apply_patches_import.txt as below and changed apply_patch.pl to use 7zip after installing the 7zip.

I have set the ORACLE_HOME envrironment varaible and restarted the machine.
Please let me know any pointers in fixing this issue.
Thanks,

I belive there is a typo... Command should be:
$cmd = "$DOWNLOAD_EXE x $_[0] -o$PATCHES_HOME";
Pls. note -o$PATCHES....
