Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues associated with using OPatch for Oracle interim patch application. It reports warnings, errors, and failures such as java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, inventory session setup, and file permission issues. Common causes include conflict with previously applied patches, environmental path misconfigurations, and system permission limitations. Resolutions involve updating Oracle Universal Installer, ensuring all necessary utilities like 'fuser' are accessible, and checking for correct user permissions. The note also suggests verifying the OPatch and OUI patches version compatibility and resolving directory and file accessibility problems.
