Introduction
SOS provides patches in a situation of severe bugs or Vulnerabilities.
- Bugs, vulnerabilities and patches are communicated with our Change Management System.
- Patches are provided per release. The corresponding fixes are integrated with the next maintenance release or with the next minor release.
- For vulnerabilities in 3rd-party components the Change Management System indicates where to download the patch and how to apply the patch.
- For severe bugs in JS7 components SOS provides patches that are available for download from the issue description.
- Find below the information how to apply patches for the respective JS7 components.
Apply Patch 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.
# navigate to the target directory for patches cd /opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/controller/lib/patches # download the patch archive curl https://download.sos-berlin.com/patches/patch-20220309-JOC-1256-2.2.2_2.2.3.jar -O
# navigate to the target directory for patches cd %ProgramFiles%\sos-berlin.com\js7\controller\<controller-id>\lib\patches # 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 .
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.
