ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-20099: E-Business Suite Patch Edition does not exist.
ORA-06512: at line 23

Cause:

The database patch edition was not active, where when attempting to connect to the database from the application-tier patch edition environment, it failed.

Solution:

This is the expected behavior.  If a database patch edition is not active, then attempting to connect to the database from the application-tier, the patch edition environment will fail.

The following also helps to find to which File System was connected when executed the environment from the fs1 file system:
