OPTIONS
       -all_nodes
              Apply the patch using all-node mode.

       -connectString
              This option can be used to specify the list of database
              instances on which the patch needs to be applied. The
              value for this option is specified as per the following
              syntax "SID:User:Passwd:Node". The SID is a must, others
              can be ignored, OPatch takes default values for it.
              Ex: oracle:dba:dba:mymachine,oracle1:::
              NOTE: If the system is not part of RAC setup, then to
              patch just the local node, provide the node name as
              empty string.

       -delay
              If  -retry is specified, this options  tells OPatch how
              many seconds it should wait before attempting to lock
              inventory again in case of a previous failure.
              
       -force
              If a conflict exist which prevents the patch from being
              applied, the -force flag can be used to apply the patch.
              OPatch will remove all the conflicting patches before
              applying the current patch. In case of conflict among 
              the patches to be applied, the non conflicting patches
              will be applied.

       -idFile
	      The input to be given is a file location that contains a list 
              of apply patch ids separated by commas or white spaces. This 
              option cannot to be in conjunction with 'id' option.

       -init
              This option is used to pass parameters to the init
              script. This script is executed before prerequisite checks
              are run. The value for this option have to be enclosed
              in double quotes. The parameters will be common parameters
              which will be passed to init scripts of all patches being
              applied. This option should be ended by option 
              'opatch_init_end'.
            
       -invPtrLoc
              Used to locate the oraInst.loc file. Needed when the
              installation used the -invPtrLoc flag. This should be
              the path to the oraInst.loc file.

       -jre
              This option tells OPatch to use JRE (java) from the
              specified location instead of the default location
              under Oracle Home. 

       -local
              Patch the local node, then update inventory of the
              local node. Do not propagate the patch or inventory
              update to other nodes.

       -local_node
              This option can be used to specify to OPatch the local
              node name to be used for RAC mode application of the patch.

       -minimize_downtime
              Only applied to RAC instances. User supplies the
              order of nodes to be patched. This option cannot be
              used in conjunction with -local option with a rolling
              patch.

       -no_bug_superset
              This option tells OPatch to error out if the current
              patch's bugs-to-fix is a super-set (or same set) of an
              installed patch's bugs-fixed in the Oracle Home.

       -no_inventory
              Bypass the inventory for reading and updates.

       -no_relink
              The nolink option does not perform any make operations.
              This option can be used during multiple patch.
              applications and perform the linking step only once.
              OPatch does not keep track of the make operations it
              did not perform. It is the job of the OPatch users to
              make sure the execute OPatch without this option at
              the end, so that compilation happens once.

       -no_sysmod
              This option specifies not to update the files in the
              system. It just updates the inventory. It also will not
              execute the pre and post scripts.

       -ocmrf
              Give OPatch the absolute path to the OCM response file
              to be used for OCM configuration. -silent must be used
              in conjunction with -ocmrf if Oracle Home doesn't have
              OCM installed and configured.

       -oh
              The oracle home to work on. This takes precedence over
              the environment variable ORACLE_HOME.

       -opatch_init_end
              This option is used to mark the end of init options.
              Without this option everything after init till end of
              the command is passed into init. This option is
              meaningless without -init option.

       -opatch_post_end
              This option is used to mark the end of post options.
              Without this option everything after post till end of
              the command is passed into post. This option is
              meaningless without -post option.

       -opatch_pre_end
              This option is used to mark the end of pre options.
              Without this option everything after pre till end of
              the command is passed into pre. This option is
              meaningless without -pre option.

       -phBaseDir
              Used to specify a directory containing patch directories (or)
              zip files.

       -phBaseFile
              If <patch_location> is not specified, use this option
              to point OPatch to a file containing a list of patches
              to be n-applied. Each line in the file points to a location
              of a patch.

       -ptlConnect
              This option can be used to specify the connect string of the
              portal schema	

       -ptlPassword
              This option can be used to specify the password of the portal
              schema

       -ptlSchema
              This option can be used to specify the schema of the portal
              repository patch

       -post
              This option is used to pass parameters to the post script.
              This script is executed after application of the patch.
              The value for this option have to be enclosed in double
              quotes. The parameters will be common parameters which will
              be passed to post scripts of all patches being applied.
              This option should be ended by option 'opatch_post_end'.

       -pre
              This option is used to pass parameters to the pre
              script. This script is executed before application of
              the patch. The value for this option have to be enclosed
              in double quotes. The parameters will be common parameters 
              which will be passed to pre scripts of all patches being 
              applied. This option should be ended by option
              'opatch_pre_end'.

       
       -property_file
              The user defined property file for OPatch to use. The
              path to the property file should be absolute. This
              property file takes precedence over the one that is
              supplied with OPatch.

       -remote_nodes
              This option can be used to specify to OPatch the list
              of remote nodes to be used for RAC mode application of 
              the patch. The node names are comma separated and
              without spaces.

       -report
              Just prints out the actions without executing.

       -retry
              This option tells OPatch how many times it should retry
              in case of an inventory lock failure.

       -runSql
              This option can be used to specify OPatch to run the
              sql scripts and sql procedures if they are present in the
              given patch.

       -silent
              This suppresses any user-interaction.

       -sqlScript
              This option can be used to specify the custom sql script
              to be run by OPatch after patching is completed

       -verbose
              This option prints more OPatch output to the screen as
              well as to the log file.

Example:

'opatch napply <patch_location>' to apply all patches under
  <patch_location> directory

'opatch napply <patch_location> -id 1,2,3' to apply patches
  1, 2, and 3 which are present under <patch_location>
  directory

'opatch napply <patch_location> -skip_subset -skip_duplicate'
  to apply all patches under <patch_location> directory.
  OPatch will skip duplicate patches and subset patches   
  (patches under <patch_location> that are subsets of patches 
  installed in the Oracle Home)

'opatch napply <patch_location> -id 1,2,3 -skip_subset -skip_duplicate'
  to apply patches 1, 2, and 3 which are under <patch_location>
  diretory. OPatch will skip duplicate patches and subset patches
  (patches under <patch_location> that are subsets of patches  
  installed in the Oracle Home) 

'opatch napply <patch_location> -idfile /tmp/list.txt' where list.txt contains
a list of patch IDs to be applied. The list should be separated by a space or
comma. For example: 1 2 3
