Oracle released a new version of its “Oracle Update Advisor”. This tool is part of Oracle AI Database 26ai, allows to anyone to check if their Oracle installation is up to date and download a new Gold Image updated to the latest version.

When using it with Oracle 19c, you need to download the tool “dbcactl“, which complements existing Database Creation Assistant – dbca – with the “managePatches” option – this is the Oracle Update Advisor.

To download dcbactl, you need to go to https://updates.oracle.com/download/6789999.html . While latest available version visible is 26.2.1, it is not downloadable. I did my tests using the version 25.4.1.
