Patch files

Netcool/SSM patches are distributed as single executable files that contain all the components required to patch a Netcool/SSM installation.

Patch files are easy to identify by their filename. The filename itself indicates the product for which the patch is intended, the purpose of the patch and the target platform.

On Windows systems, the patch filenames have the format:

product_name-patch_name-win32.exe

For example, ssm400-cpupatch-win32.exe is the Windows CPU patch for Netcool/SSM version 4.0.0.

On UNIX systems, the patch filenames have the format:

product_name-patch_name-platform.run

For example, ssm321-cpupatch-solaris.run is the Solaris CPU patch for Netcool/SSM version 3.2.1.
