Happy New Year!!!
Problem:
SEVERE:OUI-67073:UtilSession failed: ApplySession failed in system modification phase... 'Verification of patch failed: Patch is not found in the Inventory.
'
INFO:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO:The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
INFO:1) OUI-67124:Inventory check failed: Patch ID
INFO:2) OUI-67124:ApplySession failed in system modification phase... 'Verification of patch failed: Patch is not found in the Inventory. '
INFO:3) OUI-67124:
NApply restored the home. Please check your ORACLE_HOME to make sure:
- files are restored properly.
- binaries are re-linked correctly.
We faced the above error while applying one of the patches using opatch.
Troubleshooting:
I checked upon the following aspects:
- The oracle home was properly defined in inventory.xml
- oraInst.loc was pointing to the correct inventory location
- OUI versions are adequate to update the inventory
- oratab contained the correct oracle home entry
None of above turned to be the culprits. This patch was being applied as part of the patches that were being applied to upgrade the database to 10.2.0.4 from
10.2.0.2. This prompted me to take a look at the oui log for this patchset and I found the following lines:
WARNING: Home:/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/OCDEV has conflicting information present in the inventory at /oracle/product/10.2.0.4/OCDEV/oraInventory/Contents
WARNING: Please delete the /oracle/product/10.2.0.4/OCDEV/oraInventory/Contents directory to avoid inventory update failures
Fix: As the above warning made it evident, I renamed the existing Contents folder and created an empty folder by the name Contents under oraInventory.
Applied the patch again using opatch and the issue was fixed.

It again worked for a 11g LINUX Version CPU Patch 9114072.
Error:
Inventory check failed: Patch ID 8855553 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory.
Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 8855553 are present in Oracle Home.
ApplySession failed in system modification phase... 'Verification of patch failed: Patch is not found in the Inventory. '
Solution: Renamed the Contents folder under /u01/app/oracle/OraInventory to Contents_old and create a new folder named Contents with 755 permission.
