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 launcher.properties file from …<ConnectPoratlInstallFolder>\conf location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in the launcher.properties file before applying this patch.  
  • Take backup of securityContext.xml file from …<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>\resources_config\saml location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in the securityContext.xml file before applying this patch.  
  • Take backup of apps.properties file from …<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>\resources_config location. This backup file will help you replicate the manual changes in case you have done earlier in the apps.properties file 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.
