Creating an SQL script by using a direct connection to the database

If a hotfix requires schema changes and you want to apply them manually, you can generate an SQL script by connecting to the database. This is most commonly done for a stopped instance. Your database administrator can use this script to manually apply the schema changes.

To generate an SQL script by connecting directly to the database, do the following steps.

  1. Save and close the prpcUtils.properties file.
  2. Run the prpcUtils.bat or prpcUtils.sh script with the manageHotfixes option, for example:

    prpcUtils.bat manageHotfixes
