This section lists the prerequisites and steps to update Adeptia Connect UI on Tomcat.

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.
