This section lists the prerequisites and steps for applying and verifying this patch.

Though every release of Adeptia comes with seamless upgrades and bug-free patches, for customer's complex use cases, we recommend applying the patch in a non-production environment first followed by testing. After the use cases run successfully without any errors or warnings, you can apply the patch in the production environment. 

Prerequisites

  • Read and Write permissions on all sub-folders and files of .../AdeptiaConnect-<Version>. 
  • Take backup of securityContext.xml file from …<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>\ConnectPortal\resources_config\saml location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes that you may have done in this file in the past before applying this patch.
  • Connect Server services are running.
  • Connect Portal service is stopped.
  • Ensure that you have followed the Prerequisites' instructions given on the Upgrade page.

Applying the patch

 For Windows
  1. Extract the Adeptia Connect zip file from the downloaded folder.
  2. Open the Command Prompt.
  3. Go to the folder where you have extracted the zip file.
  4. Run the following command to apply the patch:
    Apply-Patch.bat -portal “<Path where Connect Portal is installed till ConnectPortal folder>” 

    For example:

    Apply-Patch.bat -portal  "C:/Program Files/AdeptiaConnect-x.x/ConnectPortal"
     
    Once the patch is applied, a confirmation message will be displayed. 
 For Linux
  1. Open the Terminal.
  2. Extract the downloaded zip file in a directory.
  3. Go to the directory where you have extracted the zip file.

  4. Run the following command to apply the patch:

    ./Apply-Patch.sh -portal <Path where Connect Portal is installed till ConnectPortal folder> 

    For example:

    ./Apply-Patch.sh -portal /mnt/AdeptiaConnect-x.x/ConnectPortal

    Once the patch is applied, a confirmation message will be displayed.

After applying this patch, refer to post patch deployment section for manual changes.
