OPatch detects the Middleware Home as "E:appfmwosb11.1.1.7"

OPatch cannot find a valid oraInst.loc file to locate Central Inventory.

OPatch failed with error code = 104

CHANGES

This environment is not installed from OSB binary installation media, instead it's directly copied from another working OS.

CAUSE

Central Inventory Pointer File is missing, generally they are located in:

For Solaris: /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
For Linux: /etc/oraInst.loc
For Windows this pointer is located in the registry key: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SoftwareOracleinst_loc.

In working environment, following Windows Register can be found:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLE]
"inst_loc"="C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory"

SOLUTION

Directly adding this entry in Windows Registry, or export from working environment and import.

For Linux/Unix like OS, verify if the ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc is present. If yes then execute opatch lsinventory with the option -invPtrLoc as: opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc. Or if no central inventory location pointer file /etc/oraInst.loc exist, just copy the file $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc to /etc (chmod o+r /etc/oraInst.loc with root) and then execute opatch lsinventory.

CAUSE

ORACLE_HOME '/usr03/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0' is not registered in the Central Inventory (i.e oraInventory)

The error message shows that the following ORACLE_HOME's are registered:

  Home name= UPG_DB__usr06_oracle_UPG_db_tech_st_10_2_0, Location=
"/usr06/oracle/UPG/db/tech_st/10.2.0/"
  Home name= APPSIAS_UPG, Location= "/usr05/upgora/iAS"
  Home name= ORAHOME_TEST, Location= "/usr04/test/testdb/9.2.0"
  Home name= APPSDB_TEST, Location= "/usr05/testdb/9.2.0"
  Home name= APPSIAS_TEST, Location= "/usr05/testora/iAS"
  Home name= APPSDB_UPG, Location= "/usr05/proddb/9.2.0"

There is no information found for OracleHome '/usr03/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0' and so OPatch fails to load/list details of the OracleHome.

SOLUTION

To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

1. Backup the existing oraInventory.(Central Inventory : /var/opt/oracle/oraInventory)

% cp -r oraInventory oraInventory_orig

2. Register/Attach the OracleHome information to the existing Central Inventory using following command

- For OracleHome version 10.2.0.2 or higher :

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin 
% ./attachHome.sh

or

% ./runInstaller -silent -attachHome
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<Name_Of_The_Oracle_Home>"

- For OracleHome version 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.1:

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin  
% ./runInstaller -silent -attachHome 
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME 
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=<Name_Of_The_Oracle_Home>

Note : Please replace <Name_Of_The_Oracle_Home> with the name that you want to give this OracleHome.

Note :
'-attachHome' operation does not require any database downtime.
'-attachHome' operation does not work for Oracle Database Home versions 9.2.0.x or below.
For 9.2.0.x, incase central inventory is missing/corrupted OR OracleHome information is missing from existing central inventory, then only available options are
- restore the central inventory from last known good backup
OR
- reinstall the OracleHome

3. Now use OPatch command to check this OracleHome details
- following command should display all OracleHomes registered in the Central Inventory. Which should include your OracleHome as one of the entry

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -all

- following command should display installed components in the OracleHome set in the environment ($ORACLE_HOME)

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail

CAUSE

The JAVA_COMPILER environment variable needs to be set to NONE.

SOLUTION

Disabling the JAVA_COMPILER will allow the DBUA/DBUA to run in it's native mode.
The JAVA_COMPILER environment variable needs to be set to NONE.
 

% export JAVA_COMPILER=NONE

And then invoke the DBUA and DBCA
