Issue
test@acm-701:/> su root Password: <enter root password> acm-701:/ # cd /home/oracle/Aveksa_7.0.1_P02/ acm-701:/home/oracle/Aveksa_7.0.1_P02 # sh patch.sh patch.sh: line 18: /archive/wildfly_deployment.properties: No such file or directory
Note that the line number displayed in the error message will vary depending on the product version and patch number.
Cause
The su root command inherits the Unix shell environment variables of the logged in user and does not set them to the root user.
test@acm-701:/> su root Password:
The sudo su command does not carry over environment variables for the logged in user. So, if you login with another Aveksa user, e.g. oracle, that has environment variables set, then you use just sudo su to move to root, the root user will not inherit the necessary environment variables required by patch.sh.

Resolution
- use the su command with the - (dash) parameter.
test@acm-701:/> su - root Password:
- or, if you are switching to the root user from another Aveksa user (e.g. oracle or admin) that has the required environment variables set, you can use the -E switch on the sudo command to ensure the Aveksa environment variables are available for the root user as well.

test@acm-701:/> sudo -u root -i Password:
