Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for application configuration patching. Certain techniques are disclosed herein that utilize a configuration patching module (CPM) tool using a single workflow to perform application configuration patching. The CPM can receive a set of one or more binary patches for one or more applications a set of one or more binary patches for one or more applications, and a set of one or more patch metadata declarations for the one or more applications which correspond to at least one of the binary patches. A set of one or more actions can be identified from the set of patch metadata declarations. The CPM can generate a configuration patching execution plan including a set of one or more steps to be performed to implement the set of actions, and execute the set of steps of the configuration patching execution plan.
