Locating and Downloading PeopleTools Patch

To locate and download the DPKs:

1. Go to the PeopleSoft PeopleTools Patches Home Pages, My Oracle Support, Doc ID 2062712.2, to find the information on locating and downloading the latest PeopleSoft PeopleTools patch.

   The PeopleTools Patches Home Pages contain links to the patch, as well as the links to the installation documentation.

2. Download the DPK zip files into a single directory, referred to in this documentation as DPK_INSTALL.

   Be sure that the DPK_INSTALL directory has adequate available space for all the zip files. When you download, there will probably be multiple zip files. The multiple files are needed due to size limitations.

   The files names are comprised of the following parts:

   • <Operating_System> is LNX for Oracle Linux, WIN for Microsoft Windows, AIX for IBM AIX, or SOL for Oracle Solaris for SPARC.

   • <Release> is the release and patch number for the product, such as 8.56.04.

   • n represents the total number of zip files

   The zip files have the following format:

   PEOPLETOOLS-<Operating_System>-<Release>-#ofn.zip

   For example for Linux the files would be:

   PEOPLETOOLS-LNX-8.56.02-1of4.zip

   PEOPLETOOLS-LNX-8.56.02-2of4.zip

   PEOPLETOOLS-LNX-8.56.02-3of4.zip
