Abstract
A security patch tool includes a retrieval engine, a parser, and a reporting engine. The retrieval engine retrieves, from a first database, a log indicating a plurality of patches that have been applied and whether each patch of the plurality of patches was applied successfully. The parser determines, based on the log, a second plurality of patches of the plurality of patches that were not applied successfully and determines, based on the log, an error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The retrieval engine further retrieves, from a second database, a remedy for each error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The reporting engine generates a report indicating the plurality of patches, the error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches, and the remedy for each error code for each path of the second plurality of patches.
