Installing Oracle 19c -> mopatch error

[former_member719529]

Hello,

I am installing the Oracle 19c Software on a host with a running 12c database so I could upgrade it next week. Software Installation is done an now I try to install the patch bundle.

I have created a Directory /Oracle/LMS/19/Patchbundle and put These files in there:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 oralms dba 118437010 Jan 5 13:43 OPATCH19P_2008-70004508.ZIP
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oralms dba 29660775 Jan 5 13:59 SAP19P_2011-70004508.ZIP
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oralms dba 2856954233 Jan 7 13:09 GIRU19P_2011-70004508.ZIP

OPatch and MOPatch were extracted out of These files an copied to /Oracle/LMS/19

The ENV is set as follows:

PATH=/oracle/LMS/19/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sap/LMS/SYS/exe/nuc/linuxx86_64:/usr/sap/LMS/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/LMS/home:.
HOME=/oracle/LMS/19
PWD=/oracle/LMS/19
REMOTEHOST=10.119.142.31
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sap/LMS/SYS/exe/run:/usr/sap/LMS/SYS/exe/nuc/linuxx86_64:/oracle/LMS/19/lib
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/LMS/19
OHRDBMS=/oracle/LMS/19
IHRDBMS=/oracle/LMS/19.0.0

Now I try to implemet These patches while I'm in the Patchbundle Directory and got the following error message:

lmsc0s3:oralms 79> $ORACLE_HOME/MOPatch/mopatch.sh -v -d -s SAP19P_2011-70004508.ZIP
Invalid patch work directory "." specified (below Oracle Home).

I searched in the OSS and the Internet and can find nothing regarding this error. I tried to analyze mopatch.sh but don't understand the part, where this error is triggered:

# verify patch work directory relative to Oracle Home. No need
# to check for errors when determining "$oha", since we have done
# that already above.
if test $_flg_allow_patch_work_below_oh = 0 &&
test $_flg_famopatch = 0 &&
test $_flg_stress_test = 0; then
oha=`( cd "$ORACLE_HOME" && pwd -P )`
case $patchdira in
"$oha")
usage "Invalid patch work directory \"$patchdir\" specified (equals Oracle Home)." ;;
"$oha"/*)
usage "Invalid patch work directory \"$patchdir\" specified (below Oracle Home)." ;;
esac
unset oha
fi

I tried to set HOME=/oracle/LMS/19 instead of the given HOME=/oracle/LMS/home. The same with variable PWD, but this all did not help.

Maybe I can find someone here to help me in this case.
