OPatch reports Prerequisite check "CheckActiveFilesAndExecutables" failed, opatch

Prerequisite check "CheckActiveFilesAndExecutables" failed

Problem background:
When we patch the Optatch database, the system suddenly reports the error CheckActiveFilesAndExecutables, which causes the patch to fail to be applied.
