Hi,
I am installing Oracle 19c on RHEL8. Section 3.8.1 Bug 30286976 of document Oracle Database Release Notes 19c E96072-20 July 2021 states the following:

3.8.1 Bug 30286976
To install Oracle Database 19c on Oracle Linux 8 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, download the 19.3 Oracle Database software binaries from Oracle Technology Network (OTN), and then apply the 19.6 or 19.7 release updates (RUs) during the Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation or upgrade process.

Installation Process:
During the Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation process, run the runInstaller and gridSetup.sh commands with the -applyRU and -applyOneOffs options to install the latest 19.6 RU or 19.7 RU for Oracle Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8:

Single-instance Oracle Database (19.6):
$ export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OL7
$ 19.3_dbhome/runInstaller -applyRU 19.6DBRU patch 30557433 location -applyOneOffs 19.6OJVM patch 30484981 location, 19.6Oneoff patch 30150710location

However, when I run the following command, it keeps failing with export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OL7
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -applyRU /software/oracle19c/patches/19-Oct-2021/32904851

OPatchAutoBinary hit an Exception: oracle.opatch.opatchsdk.OPatchException: Cannot access inventory of the Oracle Home..

opatchauto FAILED with an Exception.

I can install the software by using the following command though: export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OL7
./runInstaller

Any reason that the command that includes the RU patch is failing?

Thanks,
Amir
