Abstract

Extensible patch management provides mechanisms by which data, database and binaries for one or more components of an application may be updated. The patch framework extends patch related functionality at different devices as needed to perform a software patch in a manner that allows such functionality to be retained at the device. Additionally, the patch framework is platform independent and thus allows the same patch related software to be distributed and executed across different platforms.
