[INTERNAL] How to Download Oracle CPU's/PSU's

This article shows how to download Oracle CPU's/PSU's from Oracle, as Broadcom no longer provides these packages in the Broadcom Support Portal. 

 

1. Go to the Oracle Security Alerts Bulletin for latest Patch Updates: https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/

2. Scroll to the "Critical Patch Updates" section, and select the desired patch update which will take you to the Patch Update Advisory:

 

 

 3. In the Patch Update Advisory under the "Affected Products and Patch Information" section search for "Oracle Database Server", and select the Patch Availability Document by clicking "Database" on the right:

 

 

4. You will be prompted to sign in with your Oracle account. Sign in under the "Support for Oracle Hardware, Software..." section:
 


 

5. This is the Patch Availability Document which provides links to download each patch component separately:
 

 

6. Search for "Oracle Database 19" section, which will list the patches for "Oracle Database Server home":
 

 

7. Locate the Patches for "Database Release Update", "OJVM Release Update", and "JDK", under "Oracle Database Server":

*WE DO NOT WANT THE COMBO
 

 

Select the Patch Number links from the left side as underlined, to open the Patch component in a new tab. 
 

8. In the Patch Availability Document search for the "OPatch" section, and click the Patch Number link to open in a new tab:

 

To review, the patch components needed are "Database Release Update", "OJVM Release Update, "JDK", and "OPatch". 

 

9. Once you have opened the Patch Component, take note of the "Platform" version, as a lot of times it defaults to an incorrect version:
 

 

On the left side under "Patch Search Results" scroll and select "Linux x86-64" (or whatever platform you need). 

You should now see the correct platform version to download:

(you will need to do this for each patch component)
 

10. Select "Download", then click the file link to begin download:

*If you select download and it prompts you to enter a password, then it most likely means that your sign in has timed out (which happens fairly quickly and often) and you will need to sign in and start over.






Now that you have the patches downloaded, you can apply each patch manually on the server, or you can use this article to package the files as Broadcom did so you can apply all using the automated Oracle PSU Script.
