getMOSPatch V2 - A Tool that helps downloading patches from My Oracle Support directly to the server! This version is completely rewritten in java and it should run on most platforms using JRE 1.6 or later.
- File name: getMOSPatch.java
- Version: 2.7
- Purpose: An easier way to download patches from My Oracle Support (MOS). All you need is: Valid MOS credentials, the patch number(s), list of target platform/languages that the patch is required for, internet connectivity and JRE 1.6 or higher

Before you start, download https://github.com/MarisElsins/getMOSPatch/raw/master/getMOSPatch.jar and then execute it like this:
java -jar getMOSPatch.jar patch=< patch_number_1>[,< patch_number_n>]* \
[reset=yes] \
[platform=<plcode_1>[,<plcode_n>]*] \
[regexp=<regular_expression>] \
[download=all] \
[stagedir=<target directory path>] \
[MOSUser=<username>] \
[MOSPass=<password>] \
[silent=yes] \
[debug=yes]- Note 1: for JRE 1.6: use java -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1 -jar getMOSPatch.jar ...
- Note 2: If you're behind a proxy, use the appropriate java flags -DsocksProxyHost=... and -DsocksProxyPort=... (for socks proxy) or -Dhttps.proxyHost=... and -Dhttps.proxyPort=... (For HTTPS proxy), for example
java -DsocksProxyHost=host_proxy -DsocksProxyPort=8888 -jar getMOSPatch.jar patch=6880880 - Note 3: Usage notes are provided for a packaged jre
- Note 4: Order of parameters is irrelevant
Explanation of parameters:
- patch - list of patches to download, i.e. 6880880,16867777,12978712
- reset=yes - This will initiate the resetting of the chosen Platforms/Languages, otherwise the list previous time used is retrieved from .getMOSPatch.cfg
- platform - List of comma separated platform language codes The code list is presented the first time you execute the script. I.e. "226P,3L" for Linux x86-64 and Canadian French (FRC)
- regexp - regular expression to filter the filenames. Typically this can be used if the same patch is available for multiple releases of software and you know which one you need. I.e. .121. would be useful for Oracle Database 12c (R1)
- download=all - specify to download all found files without need to specify inputs. Very useful when "regexp" parameter is used
- stagedir - Optionally specify the target directory path for the downloaded patches.
- MOSUser - Optionally specify the MOS username, if not provided, it will be prompted.
- MOSPass - Optionally specify the MOS pasword, if not provided, it will be prompted.
- silent=yes - The dynamic progress indicator is not displayed.
- debug=yes - Outputs the timings of different steps
$ java -jar getMOSPatch.jar MOSUser=elsins@nomail.com patch=6880880 regexp=.*1120.* download=all
Enter your MOS password:
We're going to download patches for the following Platforms/Languages:
226P - Linux x86-64
Processing patch 6880880 for Linux x86-64 and applying regexp .*1120.* to the filenames:
1 - p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip
Enter Comma separated files to download: all
All files will be downloadad becuase download=all was specified.
