Opatch command to update only inventory and not Filesystem

A number of times Oracle inventory gets corrupted. It shows blank inventory even if you are certain that patch was applied.

In my case:
Environment was patched to 11.1.2.3.500
A few months later when I checked the inventory it was blank.
So in cases like these where I am sure which patch is applied. I can do the following to update only the inventory and not the File system


opatch apply  -no_sysmod <patchnumber>


Specifies that OPatch need not update the files in the system, only the inventory. It also does not execute the pre and post scripts.

The session is not authenticated. com.hyperion.calcmgr.excp.UnauthorizedSessionException: Unable to process the request.
The session is not authenticated.


From the logs it was clear that the authentication token is not being passed between workspace window and calculation manager. 


Solution:

This issue might occur in SSL enabled servers. I was not able to replicate the issue in production server. It was present only in development environment.

Run the following command from the EPM_INSTANCE_HOME/bin directory in order to add the missing property
epmsys_registry addProperty /CALC_MANAGER_PRODUCT/@BINDOWS_ENABLED true
