Exadata - Exachk finding: The bundle patch version installed does not match the bundle patch version registered in the database

You may encounter a failed check in Exachk report saying : "The bundle patch version installed does not match the bundle patch version registered in the database"

This may likely be encountered after applying a Database Bundle Patch, like "Patch 20950328 (DATABASE BUNDLE PATCH: 12.1.0.2.9"

This exack failure is based on the data that needs to be stored in "dba_registry_sqlpatch".. Exach just try to match the patch info stored in oraInventory with the patch info stored in dba_registry_sqlpatch. If it can't match those, it concludes this check as a failed one.

The manuel check can be done by executing the following shell commands in sequence;

opatch_bp=$($ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lspatches 2>/dev/null|grep -iwv javavm|grep -wi database|head -1|awk -F';' '{print $1}') 

database_bp_status=$(echo -e "set heading off feedback off timing off \n select STATUS from dba_registry_sqlpatch where PATCH_ID = $opatch_bp;"|$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s " / as sysdba" | sed -e '/^ *$/d')

if [ "$database_bp_status" == SUCCESS ]

then

      echo "SUCCESS: Bundle patch installed in the database matches the software home and is installed successfully."

else

      echo "FAILURE: Bundle patch installed in the database does not match the software home, or is installed with errors." 

 fi

The failure is actually caused by not running post installation instructions, as these post instructions makes you running datapatch to record the patch information in to the sql inventory.
On the other hand; the readme of the bundle patches are a little wrong, as running datapatch may require the database to be in upgrade mode and if you are patching Exadata , which is generally a RAC based environment, you need to set the cluster_database=false before starting the database using startup upgrade command;
Also note that, you must have at least 1 job_queue_process in the database environment.

Running datapatch is easy.

go to $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory and execute it as follows;

[oracle@exadatanode1 OPatch]$ ./datapatch -verbose
