ABSTRACT:
An automated patch detection notification process detects the effects and impacts of application patches on application objects, including but not limited to custom code when applied to the Enterprise Platform Delivery (“EPD”) software platform. It detects and notifies any and all affected parties that a patch, once installed, may overwrite or otherwise affect application objects that are dependent on the software application code that was patched. A list of files/objects that are of concern to the EPD group is assembled. This list names which objects that we would like notification if and when a patch touches it. A snap shot of the EPD software application platform is taken before and after a patch is applied. These snap shots are used to compare and comprehend the changes with the list of objects provided by the EPD team. Once a potential impact has been detected, an e-mail is sent to the responsible parties.
