12.2.5 upgrade

[Adhrushta]

Hi ERMAN,

I am facing an error while applying rdbms 11.2.0.3 patch with opatch apply;

"The following actions have failed:
OUI-67124:Archive not applied /home/oracle/patches/14046443/files/lib/libpls11.a/hshimg.o to /u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/lib/libpls11.a... ''

Hi,


why dont you directly upgrade to 11.2.0.4?

Anyways,

These files are there right? I mean in the appropriate locations?

If they are there , then they may be corrupt. Any patch that you applied previously may have corrupted them.

First, verify if the patch download is corrupt, check the filesize against the size noted on download site. Also, confirm if you downloaded the correct patch for your platform.

If you don't see any problems with the patch download after doing the above control;

use "opatch lsinventory -detail" to see if any of the installed patches have updated libpls11.a and libpls11_pic.

If you find these files corrupted, then do a new oracle home install and copy those files from your new oracle home to this corrupted oracle home (to the appropriate directories)

If no patches have touched to these files, then follow the section named "3-a" in the document "Error When Applying a Patch: java.lang.RuntimeException: ArchiveAction::apply() failed: "ar: read error (Doc ID 565601.1)"

Space characters?
Where?

thank you for your interest, i didn't write the full path because of company privacy.

But path was like that ;

/home/oracle/patches/14046443/oracle company/files/lib/libpls11.a/hshimg.o

After correcting the path,problem solved,I mean opatch applied succesfully.

It should have been this way :)

/home/oracle/patches/14046443/oracle_company/files/lib/libpls11.a/hshimg.o

You wrote this path to what? / to where?

[Adhrushta]

No I meant,I downloaded the patch 14046443 from Oracle Support.And extracted from zip to directory which is "/home/oracle/patches/oracle_company/14046443/"

okay , the space in the name of the patch folder was causing that..
So the files could not be read. They were there, they were not corrupt but could not be read.
Watch out the spaces next time! :)
