Hot Fix Releases

Hot fixes for JADE system files are released as binary files.

To apply the hot fix:

  1. Shut down the system.

  2. Copy the hot fix system files into the appropriate directory.

  3. Start up the system.

You must apply all of the files contained in the hot fix at the same time.

It is important to ensure that versions of JADE system files do not diverge from dependent binaries. Doing this ensures that dependent code files (JADE system files and libraries) are backed up and restored together. The default location of the JADE system files is the installation directory (that is, the bin directory).

When it is necessary to restore a database from backup and perform recovery, you must avoid reverting to earlier JADE system file and binary versions. When restoring the binaries directory, ensure that it is from the latest backup.
