Incremental patching allows you apply targets fixes to a container without needing to reinstall an updated version of Fuse ESB Enterprise. It also allows you to easily back the patch out if it causes problems with your deployed applications.
Patches are ZIP files that contain the artifacts needed to update a targeted set of
bundles in a container. The patch file includes a
.patch file that lists the contained artifacts. The
artifacts are typically one or more bundles. They can, however, include configuration files
and feature descriptors.
You get a patch file in one of the following ways:
Customer Support sends you a patch.
Customer Support sends you a link to download a patch.
The process of applying a patch to a container depends on how the container is deployed:
standalone—the container's command console's patch shell has commands for managing the patching process
fabric—patching a fabric requires applying the patch to a profile and then applying the profile to a container
Fuse Management Console is the recommended way to patch containers in a fabric. See the Fuse Management Console patching documentation for more information.
