A patch is a package of code that fixes or adds to the functionality of a CollabNet product. Patches are
also known as "component upgrades."
Best practices
Before applying a patch, note the following principles.
- The upgrade scripts are usable only with an existing installation.
- No data migration will occur if any changes have been made to the database schema.
- You must use the
sudo command or have an account that is equivalent to root in order to
complete a patch installation successfully.
Important: Before installing a patch, verify that it has been fully tested and
qualified.
