Hi Onkar,

Have you tries running <opatch lsinventory>? I have not run opatch on a portal installation but have done so many times on Oracle Apps. I run the lsinventory command to verify opatch is working correctly. The few problems I have run into deal with wrong binaries in path i.e. wrong "AR" binary on an HPUX system. I have also run into un-updated entries in various inventory XML files after clones. Is this a windows install? If so, have you checked your MKS install?

HTH,
Lon White

  Hi all,

  We are trying to install OPatch on Oracle Portal DB for the sake of exp-imp. As oracle says that this patch is required to install bug which is there for Oracle Portal DB. But its giving the error. Can anyone throw some light on this.

  E:\OraHome_1\2617419\OPatch>opatch apply

  Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 1.0.0.0.53   Copyright (c) 2005 Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved..

  We recommend you refer to the OPatch documentation under   OPatch/docs for usage reference. We also recommend using   the latest OPatch version. For the latest OPatch version   and other support related issues, please refer to document   293369.1 which is viewable from metalink.oracle.com

  Oracle Home = e:\orahome_1
  Location of Oracle Universal Installer components = E:\orahome_1\oui   Location of OraInstaller.jar = "E:\orahome_1\oui\jlib"   Oracle Universal Installer shared library = E:\orahome_1\oui\lib\win32\oraInstal   ler.dll

  The patch directory area must be a number.

  ERROR: OPatch failed because of problems in patch area.   OPatch returns with error code = 170
