-oelUser "<oelUserName>" -oelPass "<oelPassword>"

To extract packages from ISO

Enter the following command:

sh oel_downloader.sh -extractPackagesFromISO -repoLocation "<patchRepositoryFilePath>" -isoLocation "<isoFilePath>" -osArch "<operatingSystemArchitecture>"
Warning

Note

You must execute the extractPackagesFromISO command on a Linux computer only.

This command uses the following variables:

<patchRepositoryFilePath>

The local location of the patch repository used by the Patch Downloader. Quotation marks around the path are required.a

<isoFilePath>

The path of the directory where the ISO file (from which the RPMs are extracted) is saved. Quotation marks around the path are required.

For example, if the ISO file is saved as /tmp/ol6.iso, you should use:

-isoFilePath "/tmp/"

<operatingSystemArchitecture>

An <OperatingSystem>-<Architecture> combination where:

  • <OperatingSystem> is either: OL6, OEL5 or OEL4
  • <Architecture> is either: x86 or x86_64

Quotation marks are required. For example, for Oracle Linux 6 with x86_64 architecture, you should use:

-osArch "OL6-x86_64"
