./opatch
Also, I have set PATH variable but still not getting output.
Please let me know what could be the problem
Regards

Kumar,
Where exactly this opatch is ? I have seen similar thing in the past where another file with same and no contents were in it.
Try
$ ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory

  • 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.

    As with all Oracle products Opatch probably has changed over time.
    It was introduced in 9.2.0.6 You report 9.2.0 which is an invalid, non-existing version number.
    As far as I remember Opatch simply doesn't work for older 9.2 versions.
    Also it is quite likely initially it wasn't possible to specify the inventory location on the commandline.
    Without further info from your side, it simply looks like you are running an incorrect version of opatch against an incorrect version of the database. It is not surprising this results in exceptions, and those can also not be addressed.
    Please make sure you are running correct software.
    If you think this analysis is in error make sure you post complete and correct version info upfront.

  • Opatch  5716143 and problems!! ( 10gr2, windows2003 server)

    Hi. all
    I have applied the patch set of "p4547817_10202_WINNT" to a database
    10.2.0.1.0. Now, the database is the version of 10.2.0.2.0 and is running.
    I tried to apply the patch of 5716143 to the database of 10.2.0.2.0.
    According to the readme file,
    1. I stopped all oracle-related services.
    2. run "opatch apply"
    It seems that there is no problem, but
    I got the problem (fail to copy "oci.dll" because it is used now).
    But, I stopped all oracle-related services.
    Is there anyone who has an experience of applying the patch 5716143
    on windows ??
    Best Regards.

    Hi,
    it's a problem with windows memory.
    There should be a process still using that dll.
    You can try to use a tool to kill it or simply restart windows..
    To be sure, try by rename bin folder under oracle home and then restart.

  • Opatch application problem...

    When trying to run opatch at database level we are getting the following error
    opatch -lsinventory

    The database env file is set and still we are facing this error.What is the solution to solve this error?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Add the directory where opatch is located to the PATH and check then. For example, if you have opatch under "/u01/oracle/testdb/10.2.0/OPatch", add this directory to the PATH (export PATH=/u01/oracle/testdb/10.2.0/OPatch:$PATH) and check then.

    Linux z2 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
    The above command suggests to me that I am running 32bit Linux.
    I downloaded the 32bit Oracle cdroms.
    I read this link:
    - http://www.pythian.com/news/13291/installing-oracle-11gr2-enterprise-edition-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
    I carefully followed the instructions there.
    The instructions there are for 64 bit Linux. Like I said, my box is 32bit.
    Here are the results of my libstdc++5 shoehorn-install:
    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$ ll libstd*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2010-08-10 21:59 libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2010-08-09 13:54 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.13
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975088 2010-03-26 15:43 libstdc++.so.6.0.13
    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$ file libstdc++.so.5.0.7
    libstdc++.so.5.0.7: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
    oracle@z2:/usr/lib$
    The instructions suggest that I install some debian packages.
    Here are my results for that task:
    root@z2:/oracle/downloads/database# apt-get install unzip build-essential x11-utils rpm ksh lsb-rpm libaio1
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    unzip is already the newest version.
    build-essential is already the newest version.
    x11-utils is already the newest version.
    rpm is already the newest version.
    ksh is already the newest version.
    lsb-rpm is already the newest version.
    libaio1 is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    The instructions described a software-only install so I did that.
    I bumped into no problems.
    After the install,
    I added env vars to my .bashrc and got a new bash:
    export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app/oracle
    export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
    export ORACLE_SID=orcl
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    Then:

    I used these google keywords to search for clues:

    I found no clues in Google.
    So, I look for clues here.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how do debug this error from dbca:
