Segmentation fault (core dumped) error while applying Oracle Bundle Patch on AIX

[symon_braunbaer]

Dear Experts,

Today I was implementing an Oracle bundle patch on 12.2.0.1 on an AIX 7.1 server. MOpatch went fine. But afterward, when I tried to execute the catsbp.sh script, it keeps giving Segmentation fault (core dumped) and it keeps creating errpt entries with Signal number 11 and failing process perl.

I tried to copy a newer version of perl to the Server, but I somehow realized, that catsbp.sh is not invoking perl from the OS, but from $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin

What I tried as well was to compare the ulimit of the oracle user:

% ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 4194304
memory(kbytes) 32768
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 32768
threads(per process) unlimited
processes(per user) unlimited

with another server. The other server had an even smaller value for stack.

I kept searching everywhere, but it seems that I am the only person ever had this error... Please advise how to solve it. Many thanks!

Was there any manual copy operation made in the $ORACLE_HOME? This can easily lead to such situation, also mentioning that manually changing any file (copy,move,etc,) is stricktly forbidden and leave the Oracle Software in an unsupported state.

Thanks @Janos_mucsi-besze

I don't know if there has been any manual operation. I only get to do the most complex things and they asked me to take over this activity.
Nevertheless, I tried to copy the perl from another Server of the same environment and it resulted again in Segmentation fault.
