Patching Processes

The Patching Processes are a crucial feature in OneSite Patch, serving as the primary mechanism for deploying patches to Business Units or sending patches to a Deployment Channel.

It queues patches for processing and, based on the configured schedule, activates patch deployment in groups to reduce impact on endpoints and end users.

Patching Processes define the logic of a Patching Strategy and carry out key actions such as:

• Approval processes for patches

• User notifications

• Pre-staging content

• Deploying to test labs before production

• Routing patches to appropriate deployment channels, or directly routing them to business units for deployment

Overall, the Patching Process is a critical component in ensuring the smooth deployment of Patches across an organization. It defines how patches will move through the deployment process.

Default patching processes

OneSite Patch offers several pre-built Patching Process Workflows. If creating a Legacy Patching Strategy we recommend using these first.
