Notes
Note: The Agent instance has to be restarted to apply patches.
Note: Users are discouraged from using tools such as 7-Zip to extract the patch archive in case of manual patching. Instead, use the tools available from the OS as indicated by the examples. Do not create a sub-folder from the archive name but extract directly to the directory hierarchy as indicated above.
Hint: For automated rollout of patches see JS7 - Automated Installation and Update.
