How to fix Error: OMSPatcher finds that previous patching session is not yet completed
When planning a patch for a client's OMS, I found the following:
OMSPatcher finds that previous patching session is not yet completed. Please refer log file "/u01/app/oracle/middleware/cfgtoollogs/omspatcher/28018178/omspatcher_2019-07-09_23-44-58PM_deploy.log" for the previous session and execute the script "/u01/app/oracle/middleware/.omspatcher_storage/oms_session/scripts_2019-07-09_23-44-39PM/run_script_singleoms_resume.sh" to complete the previous session. OMSPatcher can proceed to execute new operations only if previous session is completed successfully.Interesting, right? This means a patch executed in July failed and it wasn’t noticed. What to do? Well, the error itself already says what needs to be done. You just need to do it properly. How? Here is a quick action plan: Before doing this, however, it's important to check the Deploy log to understand the root cause for the failure on the previous patch and fix it. In my case, it happened because not all required components were down. A simple “stop oms” was performed. It stops only the OMS managed server, JVMD engine, and HTTP server, but leaves Node Manager and Administration Server running. On the other hand, a “stop oms -all” stops all Enterprise Manager processes including Administration Server, OMS, HTTP Server, Node Manager, Management Server, JVMD engine, and Oracle BI Publisher (if it is configured on the host). This investigation step is very important as this finding allowed me to map the steps to avoid errors from happening again and also map the steps required to fix it. So let's go to my Action Plan for fixing: Step-by-Step: 1. Blackout targets to avoid unwanted pages. – On OEM: Enterprise–>Monitoring–>Blackouts 2. Shut down OMS and AGENT
cd $AGENT_HOME/bin ./emctl stop agent cd $OMS_HOME/bin ./emctl stop oms -all3. Resume patching with issue (with provided command) (in my case):
/u01/app/oracle/middleware/.omspatcher_storage/oms_session/scripts_219-07-09_23-44-39PM/run_script_singleoms_resume.sh4. Verify patches got installed
$OMS_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory $OMS_HOME/OMSPatcher/omspatcher lspatches5. Start the OMS and agent
cd $AGENT_HOME/bin ./emctl start agent cd $OMS_HOME/bin ./emctl start oms ./emctl status oms -details6. Sync EMCLI with server changes:
$OMS_HOME/bin/emcli login -username=sysman Enter password : <-- sysman password $OMS_HOME/bin/emcli syncThe output of a continued patch? Here it goes:
