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

  • You have Read and Write permissions on all sub-folders and files of .../AdeptiaConnect-<Version>.
  • Services such as Kernel, WebRunner, and AIMap are stopped.  
  • Take backup of connect_export.xml, export.xml, and connect_import.xml files from …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\MigrationUtility location. These backup files will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in these files before applying this patch.  
  • Take the backup of applicationconfig.xml file from …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc location.These backup files will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in these files before applying this patch.
  • Take the backup of the objects. Refer to this page to know why and how you need to back up and restore the objects.
  • No process flow or transaction should be in running, waiting or queued state. 
  • Ensure that you have followed the Prerequisites' instructions given on the Upgrade page.
