[23_01_2020_08_52_52] Obtaining OPatch information from Software Library. 
Check if the applicable OPatch component exists in Software Library. 
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
ERROR: Unable to find the OPatch component version in the Oracle Home of the target " {0}" of type "{1}". 
ACTION: Refresh the configuration of the Oracle Home target at which the target "hostname.example.com:1831" is installed.

The workaround is to deselect the Opatch upgrade option when running the agent patch using a patch plan during your very first agent core/platform patch.
