Patching functionality is being added to the management console in 6.3; the Installation guide will need to be updated. Jira development trackers: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EAP6-18 "Expose patch management in Console" https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EAP6-19 "EAP6-18 Expose patch state in console" https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EAP6-20 "EAP6-18 Expose patch installation in console" https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EAP6-21 "EAP6-18 Expose patch rollback in console"
*** Bug 1089246 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Changes have been made to the patching topics under "Install Patches in Zip Form" to describe the new features now available in the management console. These are now ready for review for the beta version of the docs: http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.3/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Install_Patches_in_Zip_Form (Revision 6.3.0-11)
Text description is OK. However I believe that some screenshots should be provided as well. Thus I am returning this to assigned state, although the docs are good enough to remove the beta blocker status.
Reassigning to the pool for other writers to pick this one up. Feature is complete, but needs a screenshot or two. Verify that the feature still accurate in the docs.
For the Installation Guide revision 35 I can verify that screenshots were updated for EAP 6.4.0 as well as 'Procedure 3.2. Apply a zip patch to a JBoss EAP 6 server instance using the Management Console'. Nevertheless there are still some issues: * In updated procedure 3.2 for domain mode there is missing step 'Shutdown servers' which is for domain mode the first step of 'Apply Patch' wizard. * 'Procedure 3.4. Rollback a patch from a JBoss EAP 6 server instance using the Management Console' were not updated for EAP 6.4 (Patch Management page should be under Administration menu, instead of Host drop down there is Host table etc.) * It would be better if 'Procedure 3.4. Rollback a patch from a JBoss EAP 6 server instance using the Management Console' contained screenshots as well.
Verified for Install guide rev. 6.4.0-36.
