Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: problem installing security #68 patch
Like Ruth said one of our guys working on HP told me:
"Yup we've installed a number of opatches onto HP, the problem with this
attempt looks to be that all of the inventory directory isn't there. However
are you sure this is patch68 ??? as all the patch 68's I've installed on8174
(HP & Solaris) haven't used opatch instead you've just had to run
patchserver.sh rather than opatch. In fact this is indicated by opatch
looking for ContentsXML which only appears under 9i and not an 8i install"

I had a similar problem. I didn't have an oraInventory directory. Look in you oraInst.loc file (on AIX it is /etc) and see where the inventory_loc is. Mine is actually in the Oracle Home. Then look for the missing file there.
HTH,

Hi,
I'm having a problem installing this patch
using the "opatch" utility
The system is HP11, Oracle 8.1.7.4 (64bit).
Here is the error I get :
$opatch lsinventory
PERL5LIB=; export PERL5LIB
/usr/bin/perl /oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/patches/OPatch/opatch.pl
lsinventory
Using oraInst.loc to look up oui libs...
Parsing /oracle/app/oracle/oraInventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml
/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/patches/OPatch/opatch.pl version:
1.0.0.0.50
Copyright (c) 2001-2004 Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Cannot open to read file
/oracle/app/oracle/oraInventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml
OS_ERROR = [No such file or directory]
I've searched metalink, and contacted support but so far have been unsuccessful.
Your help is appreciated.
