CAUSE
- opatch is using $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre, which is version 1.6. But opatch has its own jre version 1.8, which is not used by opatch. it does not make sense.
- TZ entry AEST is added into $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml.
- Before opatch 12.2.0.1.5, TZ EST was used instead. Java1.6 does not understand AEST.
SOLUTION
- For “opatch” command failure.
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -jre $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/jre
- For ‘opatchauto apply’ failure.
$cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch [+ASM1] grid@racnode1:/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch$ mv opatch opatch.bin [+ASM1] grid@racnode1:/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch$ echo "/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/opatch.bin $@ -jre /u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/jre" > opatch [+ASM1] grid@racnode1:/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch$ chmod 750 opatch [+ASM1] grid@racnode1:/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch$ cat opatch /u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/opatch.bin $@ -jre /u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/jre
