OGG Veridata Bundle Patch 12.2.1.4.220831 (PS4 BP6)

Something as simple as patching made convoluted by unclear documentation.

Ignacio from Oracle support was a great help by offering Zoom session.

33953823 – OGG Veridata Bundle Patch 12.2.1.4.220831 (PS4 BP6) (Server+Agent)
============================================================
From README.txt

3. Verify the OUI Inventory.
============================================================

OPatch needs access to a valid OUI inventory to apply patches.

Note: This needs the ORACLE_HOME to be set(refer section “2. Pre-Installation Instructions”)
prior to run the below commands:

Validate the OUI inventory with the following commands:

$ opatch lsinventory -jre $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/jdk/jre

Note:
Make sure the JDK version you use is the certified version for your product.

If the command errors out, contact Oracle Support and work to validate
and verify the inventory setup before proceeding.

[oracle@localhost ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -help

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

============================================================
### NOTE:
============================================================

NO PROCESSES ARE RUNNING AND ONLY WLS AND VERIDATA HAVE BEEN INSTALLED

veridata_12.2.1.4.0
wls_infra_12.2.1.4.0
