the latest OPatch version. For the latest OPatch version

Cannot open the file: /etc/oraInst.loc

Please use -invPtrLoc option and specify the correct file for OPatch to look for central inventory.

ERROR: OPatch failed because of Inventory problem.

 

 

Solution:

 1)   Check oraInst.loc file exists in /etc

2)   If file doesnot exists then create the file and add inventory location

inventory_loc=/home/applclon/oraInventory

Set Permission to oraInst.loc file

3)   Now Run the Installer to create the inventory

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin

$ pwd

/apps_UAT/prodclone/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/oui/bin

./runInstaller -silent -attachHome -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOME="/apps_UAT/prodclone/apps/tech_st/10.1.2" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="applclon_apps_tech_st_10_1_2"
