It could also happen if an eariler attempt to install the patch failed, and the installer updated the oraInventory contents. Or the installer is not reading the proper oraInventory directory. That directory and its contents can be very easily corrupted (per Metalink notes). I have run into that problem a couple of times.

I had to re-install the base release and then reapply the patch (8.1.7 to 8.1.7.2).

Lately, we set ORACLE_BASE to ORACLE_HOME and manually change the oraInst.loc file in /var/opt/oracle dir (/etc/oracle on some servers) to point to correct oraInventory directory for interested Oracle release. As we have 8.1.6, 8.1.7.0, 8.1.7.2 and 9.0.1 on some servers.

Since there are so many options of Oracle that can be loaded when installing, maybe there was nothing in the patch for the options that you loaded.  

It could be just what it is saying ....... that nothing that you have loaded has had a fix with this patch.

HI,

When we try to apply patch 9.0.1.2.0 on 9.0.1.1.1 oracle we got error:

There are no patches that need to be applied from patch set Oracle9i Patch set 9.0.1.2.0.

Earlier we are able to apply the same patch on other machine.

What might be the possible reason for this error?????

Thanks
