[Don O'Malley]

Hi Martin/All, The new patch download service - getupdates.oracle.com - is now available for testing. Details of how to use the new download service are available in the updated wget document - http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-79-1199543.1-1. Please remember that you will need to resister for an Oracle SSO account on MOS (My Oracle Support - http://support.oracle.com) prior to being able to use the new download service, if you have not already done so. Here's an overview of that process: 1) Go to https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html (MOS) & click "Register" in the green "Get Started" box 2) Complete required personal info to set up MOS SSO account. 3) Once you have gone through account setup successfully, wait a couple of minutes for your account to be setup and then login to MOS. 4) You are now redirected to MOS "User Registration", where you need to provide the following info:     a) Support Contract Identifier & agree to the Oracle Terms Of Use:         Sun Customers should select the "Sun Contract Identifier" option and enter in their existing Sun Contract ID here.         (You find your Sun Contract ID by logging into SunSolve with your existing Sun Online Account username/password and clicking the "Update Account" link on the top right of the page. Your Sun Contract Identifier(s) are the entries in the "Current Contracts:" field on this page.)     b) Your contact information 5) When you've completed the Registration form (ensuring that you have a Green tick opposite "Support Identifier, Terms of Use"), click "Send" to complete registration & receive confirmation that you have registered successfully. Please note that only the patches indicated in http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-79-1199543.1-1 (119254-76, 119318-01, 112951-15, 113713-28) and patchdiag.xref can be downloaded as part of this preview. I've tested downloading patchdiag.xref and 119254-76.zip, both using the certificate file and the --no-check-certificate option and everything looks good: bash-3.00# wget --http-user="xxxxxxxx" --http-passwd="xxxxxxxx" --no-check-certificate "https://getupdates.oracle.com/reports/patchdiag.xref" -O /tmp/patchdiag.xref --09:48:39-- https://getupdates.oracle.com/reports/patchdiag.xref => `/tmp/patchdiag.xref' Resolving getupdates.oracle.com... 192.18.110.9 Connecting to getupdates.oracle.com|192.18.110.9|:443... connected.
