opatchauto bootstrapping failed with error code 1.

[root@myserver32 ~]#

Solution :

1.       Check and compare the Java version on al node – In my case it was identical.

2.       Go to $GRID_HOME/oui

take the backup of oraparam.ini file and remove the # from below line -

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -Xms150m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128M"

[oracle@ myserver32 oui]$ cat oraparam.ini

#THIN_JDBC_FILENAME is optional and defaults to classes12.jar

3.       Re run the autopatch analyze, it should work.
