Issue/Introduction

Applying an Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) to an Oracle database creates a log file for every patch attempt, successful or not.

Resolution

The patch log can be found in:

%ORACLE_HOME%\cfgtoollogs\opatch\<patch_attempt_by_time>.log

Note that this is the path and file mentioned as part of the CPU patch installation through OPatch.

Other information that can be found here is the opatch_history.txt, which is an audit trail for all operations conducted using the Opatch utility.
