The patch to update Oracle Database Appliance to release 12.1.2.12.0 consists of two zip files. You must concatenate the two zip files before updating the repository.
Hardware Models
Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, X6-2M, and X6-2L
Workaround
Download both zip files for patch 26433721 from My Oracle Support.
p26433721_1212120_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip and p26433721_1212120_Linux-x86-64_2of2.zip
Upload the files to a temporary location in the /u01 directory in Oracle Database Appliance, then unzip the files.
When inflated, the files are named oda-sm-12.1.2.12.0-170920-server_1of2.zippart and oda-sm-12.1.2.12.0-170920-server_2of2.zippart
Concatenate the two zip files into a single zip file. For example, a file named p26433721_1212120_Linux-x86-64.zip.
# cat oda-sm-12.1.2.12.0-170920-server_1of2.zippart oda-sm-12.1.2.12.0-170920-server_2of2.zippart > p26433721_1212120_Linux-x86-64.zip
The file is named p26433721_1212120_Linux-x86-64.zip
Update the repository.
