SOS provides JS7 - Patches in a situation of severe bugs or Vulnerabilities.

  • Bugs, vulnerabilities and patches are communicated with the SOS Change Management System.
  • Find below the information how to apply patches to JOC Cockpit.

Apply Patch to JOC Cockpit

On Premises

JOC Cockpit expects Java .jar libraries for patches from the following location:

  • Unix
    • /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty_base/webapps/joc/WEB-INF/classes
  • Windows
    • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc\jetty_base\webapps\joc\WEB-INF\classes

The JETTY_BASE part of the above path is specified during installation and can point to a different location. The remaining part webapps/joc/WEB-INF/classes is the same for any installation.

Apply Patch

Apply the following steps to a JOC Cockpit instance. If a JOC Cockpit cluster is operated then steps are performed for any JOC Cockpit instance.

Code Block
languagebash

linenumberstrue
# navigate to the target directory for patches
cd /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty_base/webapps/joc/WEB-INF/classes

# verify the directory by checking if this file is available
ls api-schema-version.json

# download the patch archive
curl https://download.sos-berlin.com/patches/patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar -O

# unzip the patch archive
jar -xf patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar
# remove the patch archive
rm patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar
Code Block
languagebash
titleExample how to apply a patch to JOC Cockpit for Windows
linenumberstrue
# navigate to the target directory for patches
cd %ProgramData%\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc\jetty_base\webapps\joc\WEB-INF\classes

# verify the directory by checking if this file is available
dir api-schema-version.json

# download from URL https://download.sos-berlin.com/patches/patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar
# copy from download location (could be different from this example)
copy %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar .

# unzip the patch archive
jar -xf patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar
# remove the patch archive
del patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar

The resulting directory hierarchy should look like this (with the com sub-directory being created from the extracted patch):

  • webapps/joc/WEB-INF/classes
    • com
      • sos
        • ...

Note: A restart of JOC Cockpit is required to apply the patch.

Note: As an alternative for Windows you can download the .jar patch file to the target directory and use tools such as 7-Zip to extract the archive. Do not create a sub-folder from the archive name but extract directly to the directory hierarchy as indicated above.

Remove Patch

Patches are automatically removed when a JOC Cockpit release is installed.

Patches can be manually removed by dropping the com sub-directory that holds the extracted patch.

Note: A restart of JOC Cockpit is required to apply removal of patches.

Apply Patch for Controller

On Premises

The Controller expects Java .jar libraries for patching in the following location:

  • Unix
    • /opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/controller/lib/patches
  • Windows
    • C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\js7\controller\<controller-id>\lib\patches

The <controller-id> part of the above path is specified during installation and defaults to controller, this can point to a different location. The remaining part lib/patches is the same for any installation.

Apply Patch

Apply the following steps to a Controller instance. If a Controller cluster is operated the steps are performed for any Controller instance.

Code Block
languagebash

# navigate to the target directory for patches
cd /opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/controller/lib/patches

# download the patch archive

# copy from download location (could be different from this example)
copy %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar .

Note: A restart of the Controller instance is required to apply the patch.

Remove Patch

Patches are automatically removed when a Controller release is installed using the JS7 - Controller - Installation Using the Windows Graphical Installer.

Patches can be manually removed by dropping the files in the patches sub-directory that holds the extracted patch. 

Note: A restart of the Controller is required to apply removal of patches.
