Committing hotfixes by submitting a request to an active instance

Commit all uncommitted hotfixes to make the hotfixes a permanent part of the system. if you have an active instance of Pega Platform, you can do this by submitting a request to an active instance via a web service.

You cannot roll back committed hotfixes.

To invoke a web service to commit hotfixes, do the following steps.

1. Configure the common properties of the prpcServiceUtils.properties file.

   Property name	Value
   pega.rest.server.url	The URL for the REST service, specified in the following format: http://<hostname>:<port>/<context>/PRRestService/<tenant hash> For example: http://myhost:8080/prweb/PRRestService Include the tenant hash only for multitenant systems.
   pega.rest.username	The operator name on the target system with access to REST services.
   pega.rest.password	The password of the specified operator.
   pega.rest.proxy.host	Optional: The host name of the REST proxy server. Do not use localhost as the host name.
   pega.rest.proxy.port	Optional: The port for the REST proxy server.
   pega.rest.proxy.username	Optional: The operator name on the REST proxy server with import and export access.
   pega.rest.proxy.password	Optional: The password of the REST proxy operator.
   pega.rest.proxy.domain	Optional: The domain of the REST proxy server.
   pega.rest.proxy.workstation	Optional: The workstation ID for the REST proxy server.

   hotfix.operation	commit
   hotfix.async	true or false. The default value, true, executes the hotfix operation asynchronously. The system queues the job and returns a JobID to use to get the job status. A value of false executes the operation synchronously.

3. Save and close the prpcServiceUtils.properties file.

4. Run the prpcServiceUtils.bat or prpcServiceUtils.sh script with the hotfix option, for example:

   prpcServiceUtils.bat hotfix
