Incremental patching allows you apply targets fixes to a broker without needing to reinstall an updated version of Fuse MQ 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 broker depends on how the broker is deployed:
standalone—the broker'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 broker
Fuse Management Console is the recommended way to patch brokers in a fabric.
