OCS Patch 9.0.4.2 fails on storage

Question

I am trying to patch OCS to 9.0.4.2 from a (fresh installed) 9.0.4.1 installation. The infrastructure is patches successfully. According to the patch notes the next phase is to patch the storage home (I do use the storage database as email store, so patching is needed).
In the wizard before the patch, the password for the es_store is asked. When I fill in the (correct) password, the installer fails with the following error:
an error occured while trying to execute command
Rather useless... In the error log off the installer I find:
Query Exception: RuntimeException
Query Exception Class: class.oracle.sysman.oii.oiil.OiiilQueryException
Since there is no installer shiped with the patch, I used the OUI shipped with patch p3335292.
This specific installation is running on Redhat Enterprise server 3.0 update 3, on a Xeon 3Ghz with 2GB RAM (HP DL380). Both the infrastructure as well as the storage tier are installed on this machine.
Did anyone else have this problem too, and if so: could you share what you did to have this patch install succesfully?

Answer 1

OK, I figured it out after your prompting to check dba_errors. I was getting this error on LTADM when running the scripts:
PLS-00201: identifier 'UTL_FILE' must be declared
PL/SQL: Declaration ignored
PLS-00905: object WMSYS.LTADM is invalid
PLS-00304: cannot compile body of 'LTADM' without its specification
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
After investigating SYS.UTL_FILE I could see there was a problem with the Public Synonym. So I ran the command:
Grant execute on sys.utl_file to public;
And that seemed to fix everytihng. The WM 10.2.0.4.2 scripts ran fine after that.
Thanks for the assistance.
