I have not experienced this on *nix, but have on Windows. On windows (haven't checked this in awhile) the rollback batch file directly executed a subordinate script rather than using 'call', which meant it would fail. The point is, you may need to open an SR, and do a little script troubleshooting while you wait, as the 'rollback' functionality doesn't appear to be fully tested, at least in my experience.

I'm trying to rollback a patch in a 9.2.0.5 database using opatch. The path to where the patch is /tmp/patchnumber. From that directory, I am using the command: $ORACLE_HOME/Opatch/opatch rollback –id patchnumber I get the error: The patch area isn't valid. ERROR: OPatch failed during pre-reqs check. Has anyone seen these errors when using opatch rollback or know of any workarounds for this? Lara Nichols Cal Poly State University 805-756-6214 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
