Opatch apply/lsinventory error: oneoff is corrupted or does not exist

I am applying the quarterly patch for 19c RDBMS, I tried using napply but failed, but somehow it corrupted the inventory though nothing applied. further apply and lsinventory command ran into error like this:

$ ./OPatch/opatch lsinventory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inventory load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home.

LsInventorySession failed: Unable to create patchObject

Possible causes are:

   ORACLE_HOME/inventory/oneoffs/31219897 is corrupted. PatchObject constructor: Input file "/u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/inventory/oneoffs/31219897/etc/config/actions" or "/u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/inventory/oneoffs/31219897/etc/config/inventory" does not exist.

OPatch failed with error code 73

So I need to check the oneoff patch, it does not exist at the folder at all!
$ ls -l /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/inventory/oneoffs
total 8
drwxr-x--- 4 oracle oinstall 4096 Sep  3 14:30 29517242
drwxr-x--- 4 oracle oinstall 4096 Sep  3 14:30 29585399
$

so where is the error come from? search the xml file and found that it's recorded in this file:

 /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/inventory/ContentsXML/oui-patch.xml

remove the reference of patch 31219897 from oui-patch.xml, now lsinventory and apply works.

non-existent process lock port on windows server

I have a database link created between oracle and sqlserver using oracle tg4odbc, the product is installed on windows server and run as service "OracleOraGtw11g_home1TNSListener", but sometime the service cannot started, the root cause of this problem is that the port number 1521 is used by an non-existent process. The first step is to use netstat -bano|find "1521" to get the process id, in my case it's 5844, which shows the connection is from my oracle server 10.8.0.169 H:\>netstat -bano|find "1521"   TCP    0.0.0.0:1521           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       5844   TCP    10.14.45.33:1521       10.8.0.169:42987       ESTABLISHED     5844 however the process id does not show in either task manager or process explorer. The next step is to run tcpview, which shows non-existent under process column, there are three rows, two show status as "listening", the other one shows status "established", right click and k
