Issue

  • When it is necessary to install a new hotfix in the affected environment, the following command needs to be run:  
    • ./patching-tool.sh revert (Linux) or patching-tool.bat revert (Windows)

  • The concern here is that by attempting to run the above command, all patches are removed from the patches folder, and sometimes it will return to a base level, making it difficult for users to run the upgrade again to obtain the required fix pack and then install hotfixes.  

Environment

  • Liferay DXP [all versions]

Resolution

  • To handle this situation, please run the following command in the relevant environment:
    ./patching-tool.sh revert -hotfix (Linux)
    patching-tool.bat revert -hotfix (Windows)

Additional Information

  • Unable to revert hotfix
  • Important: Be sure to back up your Liferay DXP installation and database regularly, especially before patching.
