DESCRIPTION Using the defined ORACLE_HOME and given patch location via -ph, the program will check to make sure the patch was applied to the ORACLE_HOME. SYNTAX opatch util Verify [-connectString ] [-invPtrLoc ] [-jre ] [-oh ] [-ph ] [-property_file ] OPTIONS -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. -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. -oh The oracle home to work on. This takes precedence over the environment variable ORACLE_HOME. -ph Specify the valid patch directory area. OPatch will use the files in the patch shiphome to determine if the patch is applied properly. -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.
