The key component within is opatch_generic.jar , the Java-based installer used for upgrading OPatch versions 13.6 and greater. Oracle changed the installation methodology starting with version 13.6; earlier OPatch versions were updated simply by unzipping and replacing the OPatch directory. Version 13.9.4.2.5 uses the OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) tooling, which both executes file updates and logs component changes to the OUI metadata. A simple unzip would leave the OUI tooling unaware of these changes, potentially leading to upgrade-related issues.
