If you are in situation like this then look for keywords in My Oracle Support for known issues.

Fix

This is known bug and fix/workaround is to manually copy EBS Access Deployment file fndauth.war file from run Edition to Patch Edition (or Vice Versa, depending on where was EBSAccess Gate Deployed first)

1. Copy fndauth.war file from patch file system to run edition

cd /u01/ oracle/ PRD122/ fs2/ FMW_Home/ Oracle_EBS-app1/ applications/ accessgate
cp -R fndauth.war /u01/ oracle/ PRD122/ fs1/ FMW_Home/ Oracle_EBS-app1/ applications

2. Re-run prepare phase
