Silently installing and uninstalling a patch

Silently install a patch

Before you begin

If you are patching the Process Manager server, stop jfd before you install the patch.

About this task

The patch installer can be used only to patch Process Manager version 9.1.0.0 and higher. You cannot use the patch installer with previous versions of Process Manager.

Process Manager patches are cumulative and the latest patch version supersedes all previous versions. Always install the latest patch.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the host on which you want to install with the installation account user ID.

    You must have local administrative privileges on this host.

  2. Obtain the Process Manager patch package.

    For example, pm10.2_win64_497311.msp.

  3. Open a command prompt and run the silent installer by specifying the /p parameter to the Msiexec command.

    To generate a log file, specify the /l option.

    For example:

    Msiexec /p ppm10.2_update_build_23456_win.msp /qn
