3.4 Adding Patch Updates to Secure API Manager

You apply the patch updates for Secure API Manager through the administrative parts of the two deployments.

3.4.1 Adding a Patch Update to the Appliance

Appliance management console > Online Updates

NetIQ regularly releases patch updates for Secure API Manager that contain fixes for the product, including bug fixes and security updates. We recommend that you apply the latest patch update to all appliances.

IMPORTANT:In a distributed environment, ensure that you apply the updates to one appliance at a time. Ensure that the appliance is up and functioning before applying updates to the next appliance in your system.

The Secure API Manager appliance notifies you that there are updates to apply. You apply the online updates through the appliance management console.

3.4.2 Adding a Patch Update to the Docker Container

The ZIP file for the Docker deployment contains a script file that allow you to update the Docker deployment. The file is located in the /var/opt/microfocus/sapim/docker folder. The script is sapim-docker-image-update.sh. The script pulls the updated Docker image from the repository specified in the docker.properties file on the Docker deployment.

To add an update to the Docker deployment:

  1. Find the update script where you extracted the Docker deployment files.

  2. By default, the script is located in the /var/opt/microfocus/sapim/docker directory.

  3. Execute the script.

    ./sapim-docker-image-update.sh
  4. (Optional) You can run the script with the -h option to see all of the options available for updating the different components.

    ./sapim-docker-image-update.sh -h
  5. (Conditional) If you have clustered the Docker deploy, run the script on each node in the cluster. The script only updates the node where you execute the update script.
