RE: OPatch -- "Can not set up OUI inventory session" ???

Is it possible that other oracle installations have been done with /oracle as inventory location?

Is there another inventory location specifically for your 920_64 installation?

We have had similar issues with Opatch and as a consequence, we are now putting inventory location inside ORACLE_HOME. In your case, that would be /oracle/DV2/920_64/oraInventory. You then have to point the oraInst.loc to that location. In this way, provided that the oraInst.loc file is correct, your inventories will not collide or get clobbered.

HTH,
Gerardo

Hi,
Anyone has experience with OPatch tool? While applying a patch using OPatch, I have error saying "Can not set up OUI inventory session". Any idea? Thanks. lostdog:oradv2 5% opatch apply

OPatch stops because of Inventory problem.
