Download Assistant for RUs, RURs, BPs, PSUs, Patch Sets and Releases

How often did I launch a search in MyOracle Support (MOS) for a specific Bundle Patch or Patch Set Update. And usually the MOS search results don’t get me what I’m looking for no matter how clever I search. But there was relief. A MOS Note combined all PSUs and BPs and much more into table format including the links. But what if there would be a Download Assistant for RUs, RURs, BPs, PSUs, Patch Sets and Releases?

I did blog about the previous magic note a while back:
Where is the Jan 2017 PSU for Oracle Database 11.2.0.4?

But it has been revised and transformed now into a Download Assistant.

The New Download Assistant for RUs, RURs, BPs, PSUs, Patch Sets and Releases

This is the MOS Note you must bookmark and/or add to your Favorites:

MOS Note: 2118136.2
Assistant: Download Reference for Oracle Database/GI PSU, SPU(CPU), Bundle Patches, Patchsets and Base Releases

Start by choosing the type of patch or release you’d like to download:

Download Assistant for RUs, RURs, BPs, PSUs, Patch Sets and Releases

Let’s try to download the most recent Bundle Patch for an Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 installation. Click on “Oracle Database PSU, SPU (CPU), Bundle Patches“:

Afterwards you’ll choose the version. “12.1.0.2” in my example. A frame to the right will appear now offering all the available PSUs, SPUs and Bundle Patches for Oracle Database 12.1.0.2.:

On Windows you have no choice: pick the newest Bundle Patch in the rightmost column. On all over platforms I’d highly recommend you to pick the Proactive Bundle Patch – and of course the newest one.

In case you need more advice or clarification whether to use PSUs or BPs or RUs or RURs please read here:
PSU or BP? Patch Set Update or Bundle Patch? RUR or RU?

And just in case you’d like to change your selection or download a second patch – click on the Change tag.

Thanks to my Support colleagues who maintain this note – this is SUPER HELPFUL!

–Mike
