How can install patch using OPatch utility in Linux
khansJun 20 2011 — edited Jun 21 2011I want to update Oracle patch 9352164.Currently, Oracle Patch is installed 10.2.0.4.0 but i required 10.2.0.4.4. I have downloaded 9352164 from oracle metlink site.
I have also set environment variable path in bash_profile file.
Environment variable Path setting
"PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/OPatch/"
It also shows following result against this command echo $PATH
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/oracle/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/OPatch/
When i run the opatch apply command under the directory 9352164 then i received following error message
[oracle@Vm006-IS-Test 9352164]$ opatch apply
