Automating Platform Updates

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

This case is about automating the installation of the platform updates.

I see files in the patches directory (*.L7P, *.LCK, and *.status). Uploading the patch works fine but when installing the patch, I receive the following error:

# echo $PlatUpdate
Layer7_API_PlatformUpdate_64bit_v10.1-CentOS-2023-04-21
# ./patch.sh install $PlatUpdate                                                                     
Patch API Error: Cannot install patch when status is NONE

Environment

API Gateway 10.1 

Resolution

So when you install the patch, the file name is Layer7_API_PlatformUpdate_64bit_v10.1-CentOS-2023-05-23.L7P. When you look at the uploaded filenames, you'll see a slightly different name: Layer7_API_PlatformUpdate_64bit_v10.X-CentOS-2023-05-23.L7P

If you edit the environment variable to reflect v10.X, it works just fine.
