Intermittent: Unable to lock Central Inventory. OPatch will attempt to re-lock. (Windows)

in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Installing 19.17 and 19.18 on a Windows x64 machine, most issues can be solved but then I occasionally get this:

Unable to lock Central Inventory. OPatch will attempt to re-lock.


I get this message from time to time in Opatch, and I would restart the database, or the machine, and the issue is solved. Until the next occurance. I don't see any lock files in the Inventory itself. I did now remove a *.lock file in cfgtoollogs\sqlpatch, but that didn't help. Looked on MOS and tried the fixes proposed, but ALL of them are pretty vague. I'm looking into the exact cause. The error message could be more intuitive..

Howdy, Stranger!
