Once you try downloading patches using AutoUpgrade, you’ll never do it from My Oracle Support again.

But what if you want to download:

• SQLcl
• Autonomous Health Framework (AHF)
• Cluster Verification Utility (CVU)

Do you really have to do that from My Oracle Support? Of course – AutoUpgrade has you covered!

Download Tools

1. I’ve already configured AutoUpgrade to download patches.

2. I create a config file:

   global.global_log_dir=/home/oracle/autoupgrade/logs
   global.keystore=/home/oracle/autoupgrade/keystore
   global.folder=/home/oracle/autoupgrade/patches
   
   patch1.platform=LINUX.X64
   patch1.target_version=19
   patch1.patch=SQLCL,AHF,CVU
   

   • Notice the patch specification. It contains the three new keywords that instruct AutoUpgrade to download the tools.

3. I start AutoUpgrade in download mode:

   AutoUpgrade Patching 26.3.260401 launched with default internal options
   Processing config file ...
   Loading AutoUpgrade Patching keystore
   AutoUpgrade Patching keystore is loaded

       File: sqlcl-latest.zip - LOCATED

• AutoUpgrade places the latest version of the tools in the download folder.

• Nice and simple.

Multiple Platforms

• If I have multiple platforms, I can download for all of them:

  patch1.platform=LINUX.X64
  patch1.target_version=19
  patch1.patch=SQLCL,AHF,CVU
  
  patch2.platform=WINDOWS.X64
  patch2.target_version=19
  patch2.patch=SQLCL,AHF,CVU
  
  patch3.platform=AIX.X64
  patch3.target_version=19
  patch3.patch=SQLCL,AHF,CVU
  

  • Notice how each platform has its own prefix (patch1, patch2, and patch3).

• When I start AutoUpgrade in download mode, it downloads the tools for the three platforms.

That’s It

There are several tools that help you work with Oracle AI Database. Don’t miss out, update the tools and benefit from the latest enhancements.

Do you have a favorite tool that AutoUpgrade should download for you? Drop a comment and I’ll see what we can do.

Happy patching!
