Troubleshooting FAQs

Why do I get the following patch conflict error message when running OPatch?

If the patch that you apply conflicts with a previously applied patch, you may receive the following error message when running OPatch:

Patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> conflict with the patch currently being installed (<NewPatch#>).

If you continue, patch(es) <PreviousPatch#> will be rolled back and the new patch (<NewPatch#>) will be installed.

If a merge of the new patch (<NewPatch#>) and the conflicting patch(es) (<PreviousPatch#>) is required, contact Oracle Support Services and request a Merged patch.

This error is returned when one patch attempts to update a previously patched file. When this conflict happens, you can either (1) roll back the previous patch and apply the new patch (this action might be appropriate if the previous patch was not critical) or (2) request a “merged patch” consisting of the new patch and the patch that it conflicts with. To request a merged patch, contact your Oracle Support representative.

Why do I get the OUI-67078 warning message when applying OPatch?

This warning means that the patch being applied is a superset of a patch already on the deployment and the existing patch will be rolled back. The following snippet shows the context of this warning.

The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67078:Interim patch 12345678 is a superset of the patch(es) [77777777] in OH C:\Hyperion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPatch Session completed with warnings.

How can I find out which releases and patches of EPM System products are installed in a deployment?

In EPM System Release 11.x, you can use the lsinventory command to OPatch to find the release and patches that are installed in an Oracle Home. For example, enter the following command on one line:

Windows:

opatch.bat lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29

UNIX/Linux:

./opatch lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29 –invPtrLoc <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/oraInst.loc

I applied the patch successfully but I don’t see the changes from the patch in the product. What should I do?

When patching an .EAR file for an application, you may need to delete the cached files in the following folders in order to see the changes provided with the patch:

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/servers/
<MANAGED_SERVER_NAME/tmp/

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/servers/
<MANAGED_SERVER_NAME/cache
