command line

If you want to rollback automatically then you will first have to remove all the existing patch files from the patches folder.

When the patch executor then recognizes that there are no patch files in the patches folder an automatically rollback is performed.

When In contrast, when you type java -jar patch-executor-<VERSION>.jar --rollback in the command line, a rollback will be performed, no matter which patch files reside in the patches folder.

General Information

When you run the patch executor it will check if a copy of the (original) joc.war was file has already archived in the archive folder of the JOC Cockpit installation. If not, a copy of the original joc.war file will be copied to the archive folder.

If a copy of the joc.war file already exists in the archive folder, it will not be overwritten. This ensures that only the original joc.war file is archived and not an already patched one and that . It also ensures that the patch executor is able to perform a rollback to the original state.

When a new installation is performed on an exisitng existing JOC Cockpit Installation the Setup will clean up the patches- and the archive folder of the previous installation.
