Installing Java CAPS 6 Patches

This topic provides instructions on how to install Java CAPS 6 patches, including information that helps you verify that the installation completed successfully. For information about patches, script variables, and uninstallation procedures, see Java CAPS 6.3 Patch Overview, Java CAPS 6.3 Patch Management Tools, and Uninstalling Java CAPS 6.3 Patches.

Note - As in previous releases, Java CAPS user applications will have to be rebuilt and redeployed if you want to use the patched product component. This situation can arise after a design-time NetBeans IDE, design-time Command-line Codegen, and/or a Repository patch has been installed.

If you have installed Java CAPS across multiple servers, such as NetBeans IDE on server 1 and GlassFish Enterprise Server on server 2, you need to install the patches on more than one machine. The tool informs you of a successful patch installation at the conclusion of the process.

Note - If a patch installation is interrupted, use the uninstall script to remove the patch before applying the patch again.
