Chapter 14. Patch Console Commands
The patch commands allow you to download, install, and manage patches.
Patches contain a discreet set of bundles intended to update a standalone container. Each patch includes the following metadata:
- the patch name
- a description of the patch
- the list of bundles included in the patch
The basic procedure applying a patch is:
- You receive a notice from customer support that a patch is available.
- Using the URL provided by customer support, you download the patch using the patch:add command.This command downloads an archive file, unzips the archive, and puts the relevant JAR files under the container's
system/directory. The patch does not overwrite any of the existing JAR files and the patch is not actually installed until you run thepatch:installcommand. - You install the patch using the patch:install command.
- If you notice that the patch is causing issues, you can remove it using the patch:rollback command.
Important
These commands are not suitable for use with containers that are part of a fabric. They are only for use in applying patches to standalone containers.
