Opatch problem , change Central Inventory

Hi guys,
i've try to use opatch utilities with oracle db user but when i launch it shows me this err:
OPatch failed to locate Central Inventory.
Possible causes are:
The Central Inventory is corrupted
The oraInst.loc file specified is not valid.
LsInventorySession failed: OracleHomeInventory::createInventoryObj() gets a null OiicStandardInventorySession object
I've find that Central Inventory is wrong, because it's set to Grid Agent Home, look follows:
Central Inventory : /home/oraagent/oraInventory
so, someone can says me how i can change Central Inventory for correct this problem?
thanks very much
Andrea

Are you trying to install a patch?
The central inventory location is where oraInst.loc points. oraInst.loc resides in /var/opt/oracle (in Solaris actually, look at the documentation for your platform). So, if you have a central inventory you can point the file to it.

Opatch error: Unable to lock Central Inventory

A) When applying Oracle one-off patches I get this error:
Unable to lock Central Inventory. Stop trying per user-request?
OPatchSession cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home /oracle/VRQ/102_64. Possible causes are:
   No read or write permission to ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage
   Central Inventory is locked by another OUI instance
   No read permission to Central Inventory
   The lock file exists in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage
   The Oracle Home does not exist in Central Inventory
B) Researching the error, I find thes solutions...
This error may occur because of any one or more of the following reasons:
1. The ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage may not have read/write permissions. Ensure that you give read/write permissions to this folder and apply the patch again.
2. There may be another Oracle Universal Installer instance running. Stop it and try applying the patch again.
3. The Central Inventory may not have read permission. Ensure that you give read permission to the Central Inventory and apply the patch again.
4. The ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory might be locked. If this directory is locked, you will find a file named patch_locked inside this directory. This may be due to a previously failed installation of a patch. To remove the lock, restore the Oracle home and remove the patch_locked file from the ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory. For more information on restoring the Oracle home, refer to section "Restoring Oracle Homes".
5. The Oracle home may not be present in the Central Inventory. This may be due to a corrupted or lost inventory or the inventory may not be registered in the Central Inventory. For more information, refer to section "Diagnosing and Recovering from Central Inventory Corruption".
C) Everyhing looks okay. What am I missing?
Oracle - 10.2.0.4
OS - AIX 6.1
Multiple database on the server: IPQ and VRQ
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
did you setup a seperate oraInventory for each of both instances as recommended?
Check the contents of oraInst.loc
(On Solaris in /var/opt/oracle, not sure if the same on AIX)
It should point to the Inventory Location.
May be yours is pointing to the other ORACLE_HOME-Inventory.
I tend to use the Inventory location
/oracle/SID/oraInventory, so each ORACLE_HOME has its
own non-mixed inventory.
But you have to keep in mind that oraInst.loc needs to be adjusted,
when you use runInstaller or OPatch !
Or is one ORACLE_HOME a binary copy of another?
A bianary copied ORACLE_HOME is non patchable at all, as far as I know.
In this case (beside this is not a supported SAP configuration), you need to
apply the patches to your copy-Source and do a re-copy.
There is a meatlink note describing how to use a cloned ORACLE_HOME,
but again: This is not supported within SAP!
Hope this helps

2)when patching oracle home's opatch should see the local inventory of that oracle home?RIGHT,If it is right then whats the use of central inventory?
3)please let me know how to proceed now coz in linux oraInst.loc should be located in /etc as oracle looks in /etc as default in linux but it is not there...If it is there also how it will point to 3 oracle homes?and if it point to 3 oracle homes then how the opacth will know which products are installed in that home and whicch oracle hoem to be patched?
one thing comming in my mind is when ever i am patching different home i need to change the oracle_home path in the /etc/oraInst.loc..and before doing that i need to create a file there or copy from some were else?
Please tell me

11gr2 silent install error - Unable to create a new central inventory direc

I am working on SLES 11 SP2 on zLinux and I am trying to install oracle 11gr2 silently. I was able to install the GI and it is running but when I try to install the oracle binaries I keep getting this error:
[FATAL] [INS-32035] Unable to create a new central inventory directory : /opt/oraInventory.
CAUSE: The central inventory location provided is not empty.
The GI install created /opt/oraInventory and all the files are in there. I even changed the owner from grid:oinstall to oracle:oinstall but that did not help. When I did the install on SLES 11 SP1 I did not get this error.
I am running this command to install oracle: /runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -showProgress -waitForCompletion -responseFile /tmp/db_install.rsp
drwxrwx--- 6 oracle oinstall 4096 Apr 2 10:42 oraInventory
drwxrwx--- 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Apr 2 10:39 ContentsXML
drwxrwx--- 3 oracle oinstall 4096 Apr 2 10:41 backup
drwxrwx--- 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Apr 2 10:41 logs

drwxrwx--- 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Apr 2 10:38 oui
cat oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/opt/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall

That was my last resort because the support is horrible. I am getting the same error during the GUI install also if that makes a difference. Its like the oracle install does not know about the Grid installed already in oraInventory.

Central Inventory was not created with rapid Install Version 12.1.1.9

Hi,
I have installed a new R12.1.1 E-Business environment on HP-UX Itanium-64 bit., by following the below note,
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for HP-UX Itanium [ID 762891.1]
Everything was running fine without any issues...
But for the database "opatch lsinventory" is giving the error : OPatch cannot find a valid oraInst.loc file to locate Central Inventory.
I have noticed the Central Inventory is not created under /var/opt/oracle..
I did a mistake by not verifying the Latest Rapid Install version as mentioned in the above Doc under "Before Installing or Upgrading" section..
The latest is version : 12.1.1.11 and mine was : Version 12.1.1.9..
Is there a way to overcome this issue by manually creating the central inventory , I need to apply few database patches...
Thanks,
Chan.

Thanks Hussein.
The note has mentioned about registering RDBMS Oracle_home by using -atachhome option(2nd Procedure),do we need to do this for the rest of the Oracle Homes too,like Web Home and Tools Home..?
We have a typical two node install with CCM/Admin on the DB node..,No shared application tier.
Also is it fine to go with the second procedure from the Doc rather than the first one(Note that the first procedure also updates the Local Inventory, so is the recommended one when fixing Cloning or Install related issues.)
Please advice..
Thanks
Chan.

Oracle Central Inventory location

I need several - let say three to four cantral inventory location (oraInventory) on one server hosting three to four databases.
The problem is after creating the first database, the other three or four databases default to the first inventory location (oraInventory) created for the first one and does not ask me for a location for a central inventory locaton for the second or other databases.
Why?
And if I can make the Oracle 10.2.0.4 software create several inventory locations - how?
Solaris 10 SPARC
Oracle 10 and 11g

Aman.... wrote:
Are you installing Oracle software couple of times or creating databases? What's different inventory locations you need for?Aman
Yes, I install the software for each oracle database independent of the other database due to the sensitivity of the databases. This also allow us to install CPU packages on the databases in the fields by packaging the CPU and unix scripts. With individual database repository, we can install patches on those databases at once.

Probleme changing the value of a variable in movieclip from my scene

Hello,
i have a probleme changing the value of a variable in movieclip from my scene. i explain: I have combobox on my scene containing categories, and in the scene i load an xml file containing links to php files that work with the combobox.
Also on the scene i have a movieclip "filmstrip", inside this movieclip on the first frame i have a script loading the php file selected in the scene . i use a load() function with a variable "theUrl" inside like this : T.load(theUrl);.

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold! I can change the media kind to Audiobook! So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

Consumption and Change in Inventory

Hello All,
We have some Consumption Accounts seperate for (ROH, FERT and HALB) and Also Some Change in Inventory Accounts seperate for (FERT, HALB and ROH) they are now P&L Accounts as well as Cost Elements.
Management now decides that they need to be in the Balacne Sheet since they are not reflecting the real Profit or Loss Based on the balances commin from them.
I know if Create new GL's in balance sheet and Change the Assignment in OBYC for these new balance sheet will this be ok or will it effect my production order costing since the old GL's (Cost Elements are Part of my OKTZ) and if i now use this BS accounts they cannot be created as Cost Elements.
The issue between us and the management is that when we see these intermediate accounts (Change in Inventory and Consumption accounts when grouped together it is not giving us the ZERO Balance )
Can any one help me out in this regards
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards,
Ravi

Thanks Ajay for your immediate reply
can you please tell me how to explain the management how they should have the change in inventory as a P&L Accounts and not in Balance Sheet
Best Regards,
Ravi

COGS and Change in Inventory Reporting

Dear All,
Client want to Cross Verify the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) during the Month with change in inventory during the month in the system, how can we do that.
Example
In F.01
If we enter 1 to 5 period in Reporting periods
And we enter 1 to 4 period in Comparison periods
We will get the difference between the 4 and 5th period in difference column
So the material GL account will show the difference in difference column that will be equal to change in inventory during the month.
Now they want to cross verify this amount with COGS.

Problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal

Hello,
I'm facing a problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal. I changed
some bindings, saved them in forms60/fmrusw.res, started the generation and saved again.
I thought that's it but it wasn't. It took no effect at all in Forms (even after recompilation) although reopening the file in Terminal showed the changes. I'm using Forms in German, which means that even the key bindings displayed in Forms are translated i.e. STRG+F1 instead if CTRL+F1,
but I can't find a german version of this resource file, so i think it's the same resource file for all supported languages. But what is needed for the changes to take effect ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
is it client/server you are working?
if so you should not be using the fmrusw.res file because I guess your NLS_LANG is German_Germany.WE8ISO8859P1 or something like that. This means the terminal that is being opened is fmrdw.res instead of fmrusw.res and this file should be edited using Oracle Terminal.
if you are working via the web implementation than you can open the file fmrweb.res in a text editor and change the keybindings in there. If you need to have the PC like key bindings on the web just open the fmrpcweb.res and see if it contains the German texts. If so you can either copy this file over the frmweb.res file or you can specify term=fmrpcweb.res in the serverargs parameter.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
