The order of fix pack and hotfix updates are determined by engineering in several ways. This order is hardcoded in the update.
Environment
- Versions previous to Portal 6.2 SP11
Resolution
General Guidelines:
- The general order of installation is: Fix-Packs and Security Updates before Hotfix updates.
- Subsequent order is determined by type of component. For example, a core fix would precede an upgrade fix.
- Numerical suffixes do not affect load order.
- Do not modify the fix order by editing the update. This can cause conflicts.
Exceptions:
Certain fixes that resolve, or are dependent on other updates, may change the load order such that code conflicts do not happen. To determine if a hotfix update will override or conflicts, run the patching-tool info command.
$> ./patching-tool.sh info
