8.9.2.1 Using YUM and ULN to Update the JDK Package on Database Servers
If the database servers for your on-premise Oracle Exadata are running Oracle Linux 6 or later, then you can use YUM and Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) to simplify the update process.
You can either download the JDK package directly, or use YUM and ULN. Using YUM and ULN for updating the JDK package involves the following tasks:
- Configuring YUM to Connect to the Oracle Public Repository
