What is PSU?
An Oracle PSU contains recommended bug fixes and "proactive" cumulative patches, a nice change that makes it simple for the DBA to chose to apply "priority" patches.

In Oracle 12c you don't need to use carbundle PSU apply ,This is all done using datapatch command.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/opatch
./datapatch



To check the PSU applied to your database using the following SQL statement.
set lines 256
set trimout on
set tab off
column ACTION_TIME format a10
column DESCRIPTION format a20
select PATCH_ID,PATCH_UID,VERSION,FLAGS,ACTION,STATUS,ACTION_TIME,DESCRIPTION from DBA_REGISTRY_SQLPATCH;
