SYMPTOMS

While trying to apply or rollback any patch using OPatch, it fails with the following error:

%opatch apply 
or 
%opatch rollback -id 

Running prerequisite checks...


Prerequisite check "CheckActiveFilesAndExecutables" failed.
The details are:


Following executables are active :
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/oracle

ApplySession failed during prerequisite checks: Prerequisite check "CheckActiveFilesAndExecutables" failed.
System intact, OPatch will not attempt to restore the system

OPatch failed with error code 74

CAUSE

According to the above error message, oracle binary ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle) is still active or in use.
It can also fail with other ORACLE_HOME active files/libraries .
Example:
/u01/app/oracle/10.2.0/bin/tnslsnr
/u01/app/oracle/11.2.0.3/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1

SOLUTION

Verify and ensure that all database instances/services that are running from the $ORACLE_HOME being patched are cleanly shutdown.
Also identify the process that is using these active files/libraries.Then stop the process who is still accessing it and then apply/rollback the patch.
