Mar 4, 2014 1:55:38 PM]     Apply binary prerequisite checks failed for patch(es) "17513525".
Mar 4, 2014 1:55:38 PM]     opatchauto finds that there are active files locked for patching with respect to the following patches
                            [17513525]. This could be due to running of weblogic admin server on which opatchauto is dependent for configuration detection.
                            opatchauto recommends the following actions for the mentioned patches:
                            (1) Please stop weblogic admin server and related processes.
                           
(2) Please clean up all processes related to active files using process explorer tree.

                            (3) Please run: C:\app\oracle\middleware_12cR3\oms\OPatch\opatchauto checkApplicable -ph C:\Software\EM12cR3\17513525 -oh C:\app\oracle\middleware_12cR3\oms
                            If it passes and no other prerequisites failed, Please re-start weblogic admin server and processes to execute patching operations in non analyze mode.

4) Use an open source utility, like Process Explorer, to search for each of the active files given as in output in (2) to check for activity.

For Example:

 

5) Navigating to the path   ..\Middleware\oms\sysman\jlib\ contains all the active files present within it
