The
API Gateway
provides a patch management feature to help you organize the incremental patches for the API Gateway
. These patches are issued by CA Technologies to update functionality on the API Gateway
, including installing new versions of the API Gateway
. It is highly recommended that you back up your
API Gateway
before installing a patch. Be prepared to restart the API Gateway
if the patch requires it. For more information, see Back Up Gateways.Rebooting the Gateway
WARNING:
Reboot the Gateway after each Platform and Gateway patch to ensure that you get all the Gateway service updates. Failure to reboot can result in missing functionality in the Gateway main menu. To avoid data loss, never power cycle the physical or virtual machine (by using the power button or any of the power control functionality in the ILOM for a physical machine, or by using the Reset command in the vSphere Client). Instead, drop to the root shell and run the poweroff command.Understanding Patch States
The state of a patch is displayed when you run the
list
action. A patch can be in any of these states:State | Description |
NONE | The patch is unknown to the API Gateway . This state is returned if you query an unknown patch_ID or query a patch that was uploaded and then deleted without being installed. It is also the result of deleting a ROLLED_BACK patch. |
UPLOADED | The patch has been uploaded to the API Gateway and its signature has been verified. The patch is available for other operations, but it is not installed yet. |
INSTALLED | The patch has been installed successfully. Note that only UPLOADED patches may be installed. |
ROLLED_BACK | The patch has been "uninstalled" by means of a roll-back patch. A rolled-back patch can be installed again. |
ERROR | The patch installation has failed. Please contact CA Support if this happens and have the patch log files available (see "Viewing Patch Log Files" below). |
