This section lists the prerequisites and explains how to apply the patch on Windows-based and Linux-based operating systems.

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 WebRunner.
  • Stopped process flows that are in Running or Queued state.
  • Deactivated any running Mail Event.
  • 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:
      1. Stop Kernel and WebRunner.   
      2. Go to …<AdeptiaInstallFolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel folder.
      3. Copy the embeddedDB folder and keep it into a separate folder.
    • 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.

  • Take backup of export.xml file from …<AdeptiaInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\MigrationUtility location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in this file before applying this patch.  

  • Take backup of securityContext.xml file from <AdeptiaInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\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. 

  • Ensure that you have followed the Prerequisites' instructions given on the Installing Adeptia Suite page.

  • Patch application may take some time, in case there are a large number of records in the backend and log database.
  • A PatchApplicationLog<Date>.log file is also created inside the logs folder.
