Weblogic PSU patch error unrecognized patch ID: FCX7

While applying the p18040640_1036_Generic.zip patch I kept getting the above error.

There was no issue with my command it was fine.

./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/ -patchlist=T5F1 -verbose -log=patch.log -log_priority=trace -install

I noticed that after I ran the above command the following directory{MW_HOME} got created.

Thats when I realised that its looking for the patch files in /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu/{MW_HOME}/utils/bsu/cache_dir.

I moved the files there and voila it worked.

 ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/ -patchlist=T5F1 -verbose -log=patch.log -log_priority=trace -install

Now I don't know if this the standard procedure or not but it worked for me.

Hope this helps someone.
