Yep… So since PS3 is out now, Oracle and their infinite wisdom have removed the installation binaries for PS2 from eDelivery.

Actually they removed them from everywhere!

I opened a ticket, and the back and forth is something like this:

Me: WTF happened to PS2 binaries? I neeeeeeeed them!

Oracle: Ummmm… just install PS3. It’s shiny and new!

Me: Wat? Dude… I’m not making my client your guinea pig, and you need PS2 or PS1 to upgrade to PS3 anyway! ummm…. looks like PS1 is missing to bro.

Oracle: Oh. My bad. You need to contact the hub. Can’t help ya.

Me: The hub?! WTF is the hub?!

Oracle: I asked around and yeah, PS2 is long gone homie. We can’t find a trace of those installers anywhere. sooooo installl 11gR2 base, and then patch to PS2 with this handy dandy patch (patch)

Me: No.

Oracle: No?

Me: I’m not changing up all our install guides / screen shots / procedures. F that. Get me the installers….

Oracle: Ummmm…… yeah. I looked. Let me check my super secret vault of offline material on tape under a mountain somewhere.

Me: Holding breath uselessly…
