Usually, it takes about ~7 minutes or less for the file to be available for download when it is cached. However, if the image needs to be generated for the first time, it can take up to 2 hours for it to be generated.<\/p>\n<p>This Oracle Update Advisor service also requires that not just the MOS user\/password be provided, <strong>but also the MOS CSI<\/strong>. Because of this requirement, we added a new option on the AU wallet so the CSI can be loaded:<\/p>\n<p>To add the CSI, you run:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">$ $ORACLE_HOME\/jdk\/bin\/java -jar autoupgrade.jar -patch -config patch.cfg -load_password\r\nProcessing config file ...\r\nLoading AutoUpgrade Patching keystore\r\nAutoUpgrade Patching keystore is loaded\r\n\r\nStarting AutoUpgrade Patching Password Loader - Type help for available options\r\n\r\nMOS&gt; add\r\nThe specified command is in an invalid format.\r\n  To add MOS credentials: add -user user@company.com\r\n  To add CSI #: add -csi &lt;csi #&gt;\r\n\r\nMOS&gt; add -csi 12345678\r\n\r\nMOS&gt; save<\/pre>\n<p>Also, we added a new config file parameter, named <code>gold_image<\/code>. The accepted values for it are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NO<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gold Image will not be used. This will force the previous (current) behaviour. Patches are individually downloaded from MOS and applied. However, remember that for releases before 26ai, in this mode, it is required that the base release be placed in the patches folder.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>YES<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Gold Image feature is enabled. When this value is provided, AU will request and download the generated Gold Image for all patches from Oracle Update Advisor service, except for anything that is a number in the <code>patch<\/code> parameter (one-offs). So, the one-off patches are still downloaded and applied individually from MOS. This option will require that the MOS CSI be loaded into the keystore.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ALL<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Gold Image feature is enabled. Differently from <code>YES<\/code>, if <code>ALL<\/code> is provided, AU will download the generated Gold Image for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all<\/span> patches from Oracle Update Advisor service. This option will require that the MOS CSI be loaded into the keystore.<\/p>\n<p>Why not always use ALL instead of YES? Because the chances that the requested image is already cached (another user requested it before) are much higher when you exclude one-offs. So, it is faster to simply download the image, excluding the one-offs, and apply them later via opatch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AUTO (default)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The default value of <code>AUTO<\/code> will automatically decide the best approach, selecting between <code>YES<\/code> or <code>NO<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>If all of these preconditions below are met, then AUTO is resolved as YES. Otherwise, AUTO is resolved as NO:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A valid CSI with My Oracle Support credentials is loaded into the AutoUpgrade Patching keystore.<\/li>\n<li>Connection to Oracle Updater is successful.\n<ul>\n<li>Note that if you are behind a firewall, <code>https:\/\/transport.oracle.com\/<\/code> needs to be whitelisted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The requested platform is LINUX.X64.<\/li>\n<li>The requested RU is available on the Oracle Update Advisor service (the service only provides the 3 latest RUs).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>ALL vs YES<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s compare the flow of using YES vs ALL for a config file with the following properties: <code>patch=RU,OJVM,OPATCH,OCW,37690446,34672698<\/code><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If <code>gold_image=YES<\/code>:<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li>Request Gold Image for RU,OJVM,OPATCH,OCW.
