Where to download Oracle BPM patches now?

The legacy BEA site will be ditched soon. We can see that http://albpmsupport.bea.com is no longer updated. Latest Oracle BPM patches are not listed there any more.

All Oracle customers are redirected to Metalink for all product support and patches.

After logging in Metalink, do a quick search with keywords 'albpm hotfix' and there will be a KB article with instructions on how to download Oracle BPM patches from 5.5 to 10gR3 or above.

Subject: How to download Oracle BPM (OBPM) patch (HotFix ) or patchset / maintenance or service Pack (MP / SP) using Oracle Metalink.

Steps:
  • Once logged in the Metalink, click on “Patches and Updates”
  • Click on “Advanced Search”
  • Product or Product Family: Click on the flashlight, on the search window enter “BPM” and click “Go”. The search result should show “Oracle Business Process Management Suite (beaalbpm)” product. Check the “Select” box (or click on “Check all”) and click on “Select” button.
  • Now you should see Oracle Business Process Management Suite (beaalbpm) in the Product or Product Family search field.
  • Select the Release: click on the flashlight near the “Release” search field and choose the appropriate version.
  • Ignore the rest of the search criteria and click “Go”
  • You should get all the list of available Oracle BPM patches and patchsets.
  • Please verify the build number, the product (Studio, Enterprise SA and EnterpriseJEE) and the type (Patch / Hotfix or Patchset / MP ).
Hope this helps the confused and frustrated users.
