Patching cookbook

[mkarikari]

Does the patch cookbook have logical included to skip patch installs that dont apply, if they arent on the server?
Use case being: patch repo contains all patches for ArcGIS enterprise, but i have Portal, ArcGIS Server, Datastore on different machines.

will cookbook attempt to apply all the patches the folder or select the ones designated for the application hosted on the server?

@mkarikari My understanding is that patch recipe installs all MSP files existing on a folder (['arcgis']['repository']['patches']). You might manage the folders separately since you have installed each product on separate server. @pbobov can confirm this.

Hi @mkarikari and @azinsharaf,

We have made improvements to patching ArcGIS Enterprise in Chef Cookbooks for ArcGIS v4.0.0. The cookbooks can now be used to download and install ArcGIS Enterprise patches on both Windows and Linux.
