Application patches

SA does not allow you to apply a patch to an operating system for which the patch is not intended. When you are installing an application patch, SA does not automatically filter out servers that do not have the corresponding application installed. Although SA does not prevent you from doing so, you should not attempt to apply application patches to servers that do not have the necessary applications installed. If a patch is for an application that is not installed on the server, the patch will not be applied and an error message will display, such as “There was an error with package <name of the package>”.

If an application patch is intended for an application that is running on more than one version of the same operating system, you cannot apply the patch to all of the servers at the same time. An application patch is associated with only one operating system version. You must first select the patch for one operating system, select the servers where the application is installed, and apply the patch. You must repeat this process for each version of the operating system where the application is installed.

Similarly, when uninstalling application patches that are installed on multiple versions of the same operating system, you cannot uninstall all of the patches at the same time. You must repeat the uninstallation process for each version of the operating system where the patch is installed.
