    Patching Oracle failed and succeeded

    I patched one of my oracle databases through EM Gridcontrol and received a succeed message but upon further investigation I found this in the log file.

    Thu Apr 20 10:20:33 2006 - Attempting to apply patch to Oracle home (G:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oracle_home)...

    Thu Apr 20 10:20:34 2006 - Could not locate emdpatch.pl... Fallback to OPatch

    ---------- Error Message ----------
    Error: 004
    Could not find etc\config\inventory to apply patch
    ----------- End Message -----------

    Thu Apr 20 10:20:35 2006 - Patching failed.

    Sorry, you need to understand what you are doing before you can do it.

    Jeff - I'd say the nuisance lies with Oracle. How can you report a successful patch when in reality it was unsuccessful. If I did this to my clients I wouldn't have a job for very long.

    I know that Oracle can be a bear at times and I've accepted that. Hell, I even like working with it. Yes, I probably should of looked at the metalink site and read the document on seeing what version of opatch I currenlty have. I'm not a linux guru and I don't live by writing code in notepad. Oracle has decided to have an interface through the web and I expect it to work.

    I'm not lashing back at you Jeff. I'd just like to be able to install the correct patch.

    Here is the metalink report

    https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:8628931871909914380:::14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,278646.1,1,1,1,h elvetica

    The problem is I'm going through Grid Control???
