This exact scenario is on a Solaris sparc server without GI/HAS where we upgraded from 19.27 to 19.28. and a DB with CDB/PDB’s.
Binary patching all went ok as expected:
servername/oracle$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lspatches
37847857;OJVM RELEASE UPDATE: 19.28.0.0.250715 (37847857)
37962946;OCW RELEASE UPDATE 19.28.0.0.0 (37962946)
37960098;Database Release Update : 19.28.0.0.250715 (37960098)
OPatch succeeded.
servername/oracle$But at the time of running datapatch, it fails with this error:
servername/oracle$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/datapatch -verbose

SQL>Issue looks very similar to “19.28 OJVMRU Datapatch Execution Failing With ORA-29532 Error During Dropjava Command While Opening File javax/servlet (Doc ID 3097851.1)” but we tried to apply workaround and it didn’t work.
So we created an SR and this was the fix:
Remove lib/mail.jar and lib/activation.jar from patched ORACLE_HOME
create symbolic links to the jakarta.mail.jar and jakarta.activation.jar files. To do this, execute the below command
ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jakarta.mail.jar $ORACLE_HOME/lib/mail.jar
ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jakarta.activation.jar $ORACLE_HOME/lib/activation.jar
Then, re-run datapatch -verbose.
ORA-29532 Java Error During Datapatch After PSU/OJVM/JDK Update ( Doc ID 3095470.1 )Files “lib/mail.jar and lib/activation.jar” weren’t there before or after applying 19.28, so we only created the links and after that, datapatch completed OK without issues.
Looks like this RU has some bugs, at least for Solaris Sparc, not sure on Linux…. but worth having this fix just in case…
