Appendix A. Patching Tool (Internal Use Only)

Figure A.1, “Patching Fuse on JBoss EAP” gives an overview of the patching process on JBoss EAP, where patch files are first added to the patch repository (using the fusepatch utility) and then installed in the JBoss EAP server.

The fusepatch utility is a command-line tool for patching JBoss Fuse on JBoss EAP. After installing the JBoss Fuse on EAP package, the fusepatch.sh script (Linux and UNIX) and the fusepatch.bat (Windows) script are available in the bin/ directory of the JBoss EAP server.

The patch repository is a holding area for JBoss Fuse on JBoss EAP patches. When a patch is present in the repository, this does not imply that it has been installed in the JBoss EAP server. Installing patches is a two-step process: first you add the patch to the repository; then you install the patch from the repository into the JBoss EAP server.
