Software Releases
Software releases on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family (such as Oracle
Server), then the product (the specific server), and finally the software release
version. A software release contains all the updated software and firmware for your
server as a set of downloadable files (patches), including firmware, drivers, tools, or
utilities, all tested together to be compatible with your server.
Each patch is within a zip file that contains set of firmware and software
subdirectories and files, along with a ReadMe file. The ReadMe file provides information
about the patch, such as what has changed since the prior software release and the bugs
that have been fixed in the current release.
My Oracle Support provides the set of software releases for your server as described
