2. Attach lsinventory Log

You should do a detail opatch lsinventory first in order to get the latest configuration of installed Oracle software.

[oracle@primary01 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail

The log file is usually in the following directory:

$ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch/lsinv

Then you upload the log file and attach it. Please note that, I renamed the log file before uploading, as you can see in the screen shot. If you don't mind, you can keep the original filename unchanged.
