Applying Patches on the Mobile Client 

Use

In the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE), the patches are stored as mobile components with the following naming convention:

Patch Type	Mobile Component Name
Full patch for the mobile client for laptops	FULL_PATCH
Full patch for the mobile client for handhelds	MOBILE_FULL_PATCH_PPC and the patch for the respective container as listed below: AWT container – Mobile_Full_Patch_AWT_ppc JSP container – Mobile_Full_Patch_JSP_ppc OCA container – OCA_RT_FULLPATCH
Delta patch for the mobile client for laptops	DELTA_PATCH_WIN32
Delta patch for the mobile client for handhelds	MOBILE_DELTA_PATCH_PPC and patch for the respective container as listed below: AWT container – Mobile_Delta_Patch_AWT_ppc JSP container – Mobile_Delta_Patch_JSP_ppc OCA container – Mobile_Delta_Patch_eSWT_ppc

After you assign the patches to the client devices, the patches are available in the outbound queues of the devices. On the next synchronization of the client with the DOE, the patch is downloaded to the client device. The client installer applies the patches on the client, and then automatically restarts the client.
