How do I verify a patch has been installed in EAP 6.2+?

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.2 onwards

Issue

  • How do I validate a patch was applied successfully other than the response in the CLI?
  • What is the command to query the system to see what patches have been applied?

Resolution

Use the patch info CLI command to verify that the patch has been applied:

patch info

The CLI will display a list of installed patches:

{  
    "outcome" : "success",  
    "result" : {  
        "cumulative-patch-id" : "base",  
        "patches" : ["eap-620-bz123456"]  
    }  
}

For cumulative patches, the 'cumulative-patch-id' will be updated but patches will still be empty:

{
    "outcome" : "success",
    "result" : {
        "cumulative-patch-id" : "jboss-eap-6.2.1.CP",
        "patches" : []
    }
}

A combination of CP releases and cumulative patches will look like this

{
    "outcome" : "success",
    "result" : {
        "cumulative-patch-id" : "jboss-eap-6.2.4.CP",
        "patches" : ["eap-624-bz1234567"]
    }
}
