Recently, I have installed an Oracle 11.2.0.4 RDBMS on a server, and I wanted to install the latest Patch Set Update (PSU) 11.2.0.4.4 from October 2014. During the execution, I fell on the error “Archive not applied” and the job failed. This is how to quickly fix this issue.<\/p>\n

While installing the PSU 11.2.0.4.4 from October 2014 on my Oracle 11.2.0.4 database server, I experienced the following error:<\/p>\n

Do you want to proceed? [y|n]
\nn<\/samp><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Typically, this error appears when there are permission issues in the Oracle directories. Here, the\u00a0\/u00\/app\/oracle\/product\/11.2.0\/db_4_0\/lib<\/span> directory seemed to by the cause of my error. So I checked my environment. By invoking OPatch with the Oracle user, access should be gained to that directory:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

oracle@srvora01 ~]$ id
\nuid=54321(oracle<\/span><\/strong>) gid=54321(oinstall<\/span><\/strong>) groups=54321(oinstall),54322(dba)<\/samp><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am connected as “oracle” user, member of the “oinstall” group.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[oracle@srvora01 ~]$ ls -ld \/u00\/app\/oracle\/product\/11.2.0\/db_4_0\/lib
\ndrwxr-xr-x 4 oracle oinstall<\/span><\/strong> 12288 Jan 16 13:10 \/u00\/app\/oracle\/product\/11.2.0\/db_4_0\/lib\/oracle\/soft\/11.2.0.4\/psu 11.2.0.4.4\/19791364\/19121551\/<\/samp><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, my “lib” directory is owned by “oracle” with the “oinstall” group. So there are definitely no issues with permissions here \ud83d\ude41
\nI was very surpised during a few minutes! But I discovered an issue in the path of the patch I wanted to deploy:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[oracle@srvora01 19121551]$ pwd
\n\/oracle\/soft\/11.2.0.4\/psu 11.2.0.4.4<\/span>\/19791364\/19121551\/<\/samp><\/samp><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you see my mistake? I used a space character in the name of the directory containing the patch to apply. And OPatch does not like space characters, definitely…<\/p>\n

Once my mistake discovered, I just had to rename my directory and run the OPatch again:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[oracle@srvora01 ~]$ mv “\/oracle\/soft\/11.2.0.4\/psu 11.2.0.4.4\/<\/span><\/strong>” “\/oracle\/soft\/11.2.0.4\/psu_11.2.0.4.4\/<\/span><\/strong>“<\/samp><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
