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

Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 12.2.0.1.21

Copyright (c) 2020, Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Oracle Home       : /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0

Central Inventory : /u01/app/oraInventory

   from           : /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/oraInst.loc

OPatch version    : 12.2.0.1.21

OUI version       : 12.2.0.7.0

Log file location : /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2020-09-08_13-35-59PM_1.log

Lsinventory Output file location : /u02/app/oracle/19.0.0/cfgtoollogs/opatch/lsinv/lsinventory2020-09-08_13-35-59PM.txt

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

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.

oracle dba_hist_sysmetric_summary

found this blog is helpful to get CPU and IO statistics on oracle database. http://shob-dbadmin.blogspot.ca/2012/12/how-to-find-total-io-of-database.html courtesy to  Shomil Bansal , below are hist writing, not mine. How to find total IO of the database instance Total IO of database instance is sum of the physical reads, physical writes and redo writes. There are several views to find these values. v$sysmetric  - Reports metric values for only the most current time sample 60 secs. v$sysmetric_summary  - Reports metric values for time sample of 1 hour. v$sysmetric_history  - Reports metric values every 60 sec from the time instance is up. Better way to analyse IO using this view to take deltas between two time periods. dba_hist_sysmetric_history  - All the above views are refreshed when the instance is restarted. This view, part of AWR, stores the historical stats. I have used this view for my report. Query: ====== set lines 350...

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, t...
