APPLIES TO: Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.4 and later Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service - Version N/A and later Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service - Version N/A and later Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Machine - Version N/A and later Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later Linux x86-64 SYMPTOMS: OPatch fails with below error: $ opatch lsinventory OPatch cannot continue because it would not be able to load OUI platform dependent library from the directory "/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_home/oui/lib/linux". The directory does not exist in the Oracle home. This could be due to the following reasons. (1) Incompatible usage of java with OUI (32/64 bit). (2) Wrong 32-bit Oracle Home installation in 64-bit environment (or) vice-versa. Please contact Oracle support for more details. OPatch failed with error code 1 CAUSE: Wrong java version used, 32 bit JDK was installed in 64 bit Oracle Home, executing opatch in debug mode shows opatch is considering OS as 32 bit OS. $ export OPATCH_DEBUG=true $ opatch version OPatch was not able to set FMW_COMPONENT_HOME by itself. Machine Info: Linux Test 3.0.101-0.47.55-xen #1 SMP Thu May 29 08:25:11 UTC 2015 (dc083ee) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux _osArch is i386 ( pay attention to this line) _javaVMSpecVersion is 1.0 _javaVMSpecVendor is Sun Microsystems Inc. _javaVMSpecName is Java Virtual Machine Specification _javaVMVendor is Sun Microsystems Inc. _javaJRESpecVersion is 1.5 SOLUTION: First verify that you are using correct version of opatch and then Verify the "$ORACLE_HOME/oui/lib/" directory as shown below: For 32 bit Oracle Home , you will see below output $ ls -lart $ORACLE_HOME/oui/lib/ linux For 64 bit Oracle Home , you will see below output $ ls -lart $ORACLE_HOME/oui/lib/ linux64 Opatch is expecting linux folder but you will see a linux64 bit folder, which means Opatch is considering OS as 32 bit Check Java version used in Oracle Home with below command $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -version java version "1.5.0_51" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_51-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_51-b10, mixed mode) Above output shows 64 bit Java version , if you dont see 64 bit Java installed , Install 64 bit JDK You can also copy the $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/ from any other working server with the same Java version and bit. Or alternatively you can use below command to use JDK from alternate location: opatch lsinventory -jdk <path_to_64_bit_jdk>
