Resolving RC-00110 / RC-50013 Errors During ApplyDBTechStack (ouicli.pl INSTE8_APPLY = 1)

 

Overview

While performing ApplyDBTechStack or Rapid Clone (adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack) in an Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2 environment, you may encounter the following fatal errors:

RC-00110: Fatal: Error occurred while relinking of ApplyDBTechStack

Followed by:

ouicli.pl               INSTE8_APPLY       1
AutoConfig is exiting with status 1

WARNING: RC-50013: Fatal: Instantiate driver did not complete successfully.
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0.0/dbhome_1/appsutil/driver/regclone.drv

At first glance, this error appears to be related to AutoConfig or Oracle Home cloning, but the real root cause lies deeper in the Oracle Inventory prerequisite checks.

Where to Look First – The Key Log Location

Although the failure is reported by AutoConfig, the actual error details are logged in the Oracle Inventory logs:

/u01/app/oraInventory/logs/

This directory is critical when:

• ouicli.pl fails

• INSTE8_APPLY returns status 1

• ApplyDBTechStack aborts unexpectedly

---

Root Cause Identified

From the inventory log files, the following errors were observed:

PRVF-7532 : Package "openmp" is missing on node "xxxxx"
PRVF-7532 : Package "oracka" is missing on node "xxxxx"

Detailed Error Messages

INFO:  Error Message: PRVF-7532 : Package "openmp" is missing on node "xxxxx"
INFO:  Cause: A required package is either not installed or not loaded
INFO:  Action: Ensure that the required package is installed and available

INFO:  Error Message: PRVF-7532 : Package "oracka" is missing on node "xxxxx"
INFO:  Expected Value: oracka
INFO:  Actual Value: missing

---

Why This Happens

During ApplyDBTechStack, Oracle internally invokes OUI CLI (ouicli.pl) to:

• Validate OS prerequisites

• Perform relinking

• Register the Oracle Home

On Solaris 11, Oracle Grid and Database homes rely on certain kernel and system libraries. If these packages are not installed:

• OUI prerequisite checks fail

• ouicli.pl exits with INSTE8_APPLY = 1

• AutoConfig terminates with RC-50013

Even though the packages may be available in the repository, they must be explicitly installed.

---

Verification Before Fix

The following checks confirmed that the packages were available but not installed:

Check for oracka

pkg list -af | grep oracka

Output:

system/kernel/oracka   11.4-11.4.70.0.1.170.2   ---
system/kernel/oracka   11.4-11.4.0.0.1.15.0    ---

Check for openmp

pkg list -af | grep openmp

Output:

system/library/openmp   11.4-11.4.69.0.0.169.0   ---
system/library/openmp   11.4-11.4.0.0.1.4.0     ---

Status indicators showed the packages were not installed.

---

Solution – Install the Missing Packages

Install the required Solaris packages as root:

pkg install system/library/openmp
pkg install system/kernel/oracka

After installation:

• Ensure the packages are listed as installed

• No reboot is typically required

---

Post-Fix Validation

Once the packages were installed:

1. Re-run the clone operation:

   perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack
   

2. ApplyDBTechStack completed successfully

3. ouicli.pl no longer returned INSTE8_APPLY = 1

4. AutoConfig completed without errors

---

Key Takeaways for Oracle DBAs

• RC-00110 and RC-50013 are symptoms, not root causes

• Always check:

  /u01/app/oraInventory/logs/
  

• Solaris 11 requires specific kernel and system libraries for:

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure

  • Oracle Database 19c

  • EBS Rapid Clone

• Missing OS packages can break ApplyDBTechStack even if:

  • Oracle Home is correct

  • Inventory is clean

  • Permissions are fine

---

Final Recommendation

Before running ApplyDBTechStack or Rapid Clone on Solaris:

✔ Validate all Oracle prerequisite packages
✔ Review Oracle Inventory logs early
✔ Do not rely solely on AutoConfig error messages

This proactive check can save hours of troubleshooting.
