| # Process Patches (ttpmc2102m000) Use this session to view the patches that are present in the registry of solutions and connected to the specified update VRC. Before you can process a patch, you must scan the patch using the Scan Solution/Patch File (ttpmc2200s000) session. The current session is the central session within the total patch process at the recipient system. After scanning, you can initiate all further actions for patches from this session. Related topics PMC introduction PMC overview PMC recipient procedure Update VRC A physical VRC at the PMC recipient side in which updates are installed. Every update VRC has a base VRC linked. Base VRC A means in PMC to identify products in a unique way. Updates at the distributor side are provided with the base VRC identifier. A base VRC can contain the code of the physical VRC in which the related master product is installed, for example, B61_a, but can also be a code not related to a physical VRC, for example, 7.6_a_tt. At the recipient side, every update VRC is linked to a base VRC identifier. The installation process checks if the base VRC identifier of the update matches with the base VRC identifier of the update VRC. If not, you cannot install the update in that update VRC. Patch Code A unique identification of the patch in a base VRC. The same patch can exist in various base VRCs. If this occurs, the patches must be connected to each other by a co-requisite relationship. Status The following statuses indicate the progress of the installation or uninstallation of a solution or Patch. These statuses are only used at the recipient side, and must not be confused with the Solution status distributor at the distributor side. Available The solution or patch is scanned and available on the system. To Install The solution or patch is checked and is ready to be installed. Saving A backup of the components is being saved. This status is not applicable for patches. Installing During the installing process the solution or patch has this status. Installed The solution or patch is installed.

Connect to Update VRC Makes the patch available for an update VRC, if the patch was already scanned for another update VRC. If a patch is made available, all solutions in the patch are made available. Both update VRCs must have the same base VRC. If the patch was scanned in the first VRC, the status of the patch is at least Available. In this way you can scan a patch once, for example, for your live environment, and make the patch available for installation in a test environment.
