Oracle EBS 12.2.x: ADOP error during Cutover phase

Background of the issue: I was applying hrblobal driver in a multi-node Production environment. Our Production application EBS has one Primary node and one DMZ Node.

After applying hrglobal driver using the online patching cycle, Cutover phase thrown below error message

==

Applying patch(es): <6390830> on node EBSDMZ failed.
If you choose to proceed with cutover, node EBSDMZ will be marked as abandoned.
Do you want adop to continue processing on completed nodes [y/n]? n
    As per user choice, adop will not proceed further with processing.

==

If we Provide input as 'Y' above, EBSDMZ node will be abandoned and we need to register the DMZ node again.


Solution:

1.Apply Patch on DMZ node using options=nodb and restart the cutover phase

On DMZ Node
=====
Source the patch filesystem
adop phase=apply patchtop=$PER_TOP/patch/115 patches=driver:hrglobal.drv allnodes=NO action=nodb options=forceapply

2. Restart Cutover phase on Master node
