Prerequisites

Before applying the patch, ensure that you have:

  • Read and Write permissions on all sub-folders and files of ../AdeptiaSuite-<Version>.
  • Stopped Kernel and WebrunnerWebRunner.
  • Stopped process flows that are in Running or Queued state.
  • Deactivated any running Mail Event.
  • Take backup of securityContext.xml file from <AdeptiaInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\saml location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in the securityContext.xml file before applying this patch.  
  • Take backup of web.xml file from <AdeptiaInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\web\WEB-INF location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in the web.xml file before applying this patch. 
  • Taken the backup of a backend database. 
    • In case, the embedded database is used as the backend database, follow the below steps to take the backup:

...

    • In case, any other database is used as the backend database, you need to follow the backup instructions given by that Database Server. To know, which database is used as the back end database, refer to Appendix A: Identify Backend Database.
  • Do not replace the backup of export.xml to the newly created export.xml. Only merge the changes from the old file to the new one.

    In case you have updated export.xml (during Migration of objects), and you wish to keep changes after applying the patch, keep a backup of this file from the path: ...\Take backup of export.xml and connect_export.xml files from  <AdeptiaInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\MigrationUtility. After the patch application is complete, merge the changes done in the backed up file with the new file (export.xml) generated.
