ERROR Patching cycle in progress – run this utility from patch file system

How to resolve ERROR Patching cycle in progress.

AD Administration error:

ERROR Patching cycle in progress – run this utility from patch file system

You can only run it from run file system when not patching.


Check the any active adop cycle by running the script ADZDSHOWED.sql:-

SQL> @ADZDSHOWED.sql
=========================================================================
= Editions
=========================================================================

Edition Name Type Status Current?
————— ——– ——– ——–
EDITION1 PATCH ACTIVE
ORA$BASE ACTIVE
V_20000001_2001 ACTIVE



Solution:-

To resolve the issue, test the following steps in a development/test instance and then migrate accordingly:

👉 Complete or abort any open patching cycles using adop phase=abort.

👉 Any remaining database editions (for example ‘EDITION1’) will need to be addressed by the DBA.

👉 Run ADZDSHOWED.sql to confirm the editions are corrected.

👉 Run adadmin and and confirm it proceeds without error.
