14.5. Applying a Patch
For patches to be applied to a JBoss server, the server must first be subscribed to the JBoss content repository.
- Stop the JBoss instance.
- In the Resources item in the top menu, go to the Servers item.
- Search for the JBoss instance to patch.
- On the JBoss server resource's entry page, open the Content tab and select the New subtab. This lists all of the packages and patches which are available for that specific resource type.
- Select the checkboxes beside the names of the patched to install, and click the button.
- Review the information on the page and verify everything is correct. Click the VIEW link in the Instructions column to review the steps that will be performed during the package installation process.
- Optionally, enter any notes to describe the patch deployment or environment.
- Click the button to install the updates. The patch process runs in the background; the progress can be viewed in the History subtab of the Content tab.
- When the installation process is complete, the patch job is listed in the Completed Requests area. Clicking the button displays the list of steps that performed in the process and whether they succeeded, failed, or were skipped.
- When the patch process is complete, start the JBoss instance.
