A patch is a software update that fixes bugs.
As the patches are cumulative, Talend Data Catalog recommends you to apply the latest patches available, to keep your installation(s) including all harvesting agents up-to-date.
Two types of patch file are available as .zip files only. You install them in the same way and if both are to be applied at the same time, then apply the one with the older timestamp first, followed by the newer one.In this page:
- x.y. corresponds to package version number (Major.Minor)
- YYYYMMDD corresponds to the package timestamp
