Opatch Error Prerequisite Check "Checkactivefilesandexecutables" failed

Problem phenomenon:

When using Opatch to make a patch, report the following error:

On the surface looks like the Opatch version is too low problem, actually my opatch already is the highest version! This error surface is very misleading, I went on a further look at the log!

You can see that the main problem is "Oui-67073:utilsession failure: Prerequisite Check" Checkactivefilesandexecutables "failed."
It should look like the active file process is causing the patch to fail.

Specific reference metalink:148501.1

Workaround:

1. Stop the database and listen
2.kill off all Oracle-related processes
