The Oracle Home is not registered with the Central Inventory.

During the  patch installation you get the following error:

The Oracle Home <your ORACLE_HOME> is not registered with the Central Inventory.  OPatch was not able to get details of the home from the inventory.

Action:
Run opatch -lsinventory -all to check if  you ORACLE_HOME is defined.

If not :
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
./runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -attachHome ORACLE_HOME=< your ORACLE_HOME path >" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<name>"


Re-run the patch installation.

  3. I'm getting this error while applying the patch 7047034 on windows 7. How can I run the given command in cmd(command prompt) as runinstaller is for UNIX.
