MetaLink provides Oracle customers with 24/7 access to Oracle Support Services (OSS) and technical information via the Web.  To gain access to MetaLink and technical support assistance, you must have an active support contract for Oracle licences, and you will need to know your Customer Support Identifier (CSI).  If you are at the Partner level, your CSI will allow you to access the MetaLink knowledge base but not to log service requests.   Certified and Certified Advantage Partners have a number of service requests included with their respective product focus areas.
