ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_FILE", line 378
ORA-06512: at "APPS.FND_FILE", line 473
ORA-06512: at line 50

Cause:

There is a permission or space problem with the directory being used to write a temporary file
during patch application.

Solution:

To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

1. Exit adpatch (via adctrl, using hidden option 8) if it is still running.

2. Navigate to the directory which  is pointed to by the $APPLTMP environment variable.

Login as apps user
cd $APPL_TOP
. ./APPSORA.env
cd  $APPLTMP
pwd

3. Please attempt to delete any *.tmp files in this directory ($APPLTMP).

4. Change the permissions on the directory to 777 to ensure permissions is not a problem.

5. Please ensure there is sufficient free space for this directory.
df -kb

6. Change the database parameter file (init.ora) and ensure the UTL_FILE_DIR contains the
directory pointed to by the $APPLTMP variable.

Nb:
UTL_FILE_DIR can contain different directory, but please  make sure the directory pointed by APPLPTMP is the first entry on the UTL_FILE_DIR.

7. Restart the Database and Listener.

8. Ensure the APPS Middle tier is shutdown excepts the Database and Listener.

9. Rerun the patch and determine if the issue is repeated.
