Using opatch brings error : OPatch detects your platform as 226 while this patch 8372118 supports platforms

I were trying to apply a patch and got the error show below:

OPatch detects your platform as 226 while this patch 8372118 supports platforms:
0 (Generic Platform 1)

The workaround is:

export OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID=0

And run the opatch again.
