In the last week I’ve heard stories of problems applying the PSU and other people having no problems. So far, I’ve applied the combo PSU four times without a problem.

One thing I did catch from one person was that they used applied the GI Combo PSU in January and were trying to apply the April database only PSU – I’m not sure that’s an issue but it does seem a bit suspect. They are doing some testing revolving around that to see if that might be the issue right now.

Of course, other common causes can includes issues with the OPatch directories permissions, not starting OPatch in the right directory and some other things OPatch is sensitive about.

Scott,
I applied it on an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database and GI on Linux 6. The database and GI had the Jan PSU before the patch. There was no conflict and patching was successful. Regards,
Chen

I get a huge list of conflicts and I used Oracle’s conflict checker which told me “yes there are conflicts, but there are no fixes”. When I clicked the button to generate a request, that errored too.

I’ve never had an issue with a patch set before, so this is a bit frustrating.

In Red Hat 6, I get the following list:

Following patches have conflicts: [ 18522509 20506715 17478514 21051833 22195457 22502493 22683212 22893153 ] Refer to My Oracle Support Note 1299688.1 for instructions on resolving patch conflicts.

OPatch found that the following patches are not required. They are either subset of the patches in Oracle Home (or) subset of the patches in the given list
