Post Patch Deployment Steps

In this release, some manual changes are required in Server.

Changes in cacerts 

  1. Copy the cacerts file from patch location, and paste it at .../AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/truststore location.
  2. Open the copied file and make the same manual changes in the file that you have done in your previous cacerts file (that you had saved as a backup).

  3. Save the file.

Once the post patch deployment steps are done, start the services, i.e. Kernel and WebRunner.
