Overview

A patch consists of several files compressed and archived into a single archive file. The files contained in the archive file include a README file together with one or more product files. The README file describes the contents of the patch. The product files AUGMENT or REPLACE files of the original product installation and are intended to correct problems addressed by the patch. Archiving several files into one single archive file makes the patch easier to download to your computer.

In general, the steps necessary to install a patch include:

  1. Exit all running instances of the applicable product(s)
  2. Download the archive file containing the patch to your computer
  3. Extract the product files contained in the patch archive file to your product installation
  4. Review the README file included with the patch
  5. Restart the product
Note: Specific instructions for installing a particular patch are listed in the section that describes that patch.
