--查看readme的补丁步骤

Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located and then run the OPatch utility by entering the following commands:
unzip p24732075_112040_.zip
cd 24732075
opatch apply

上述检查项都没有问题，按照readme的方式，cd到24732075下面，再次apply，还是报错

nzibossdb:/u01/app/oracle/dmps/24732075>opatch apply

OPatch failed with error code 135

 

从字面意思理解The patch location is not valid for apply，指的是patch软件目录无效，可能是opatch没有找到补丁软件包的位置，使用-local参数去指定补丁软件目录，再次执行就ok了

nzibossdb:/u01/app/oracle/dmps/24732075>opatch apply -oh /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 -local /u01/app/oracle/dmps/24732075

其实上述问题已经遇到类似的情况2次了，都是要加-oh或者-local参数指定ORACLE_HOME和patch目录才可以apply通过。

下次还是注意下这种情况。
