Scanning the system for hotfixes

Before you install a hotfix, run a report that lists the hotfixes that are already installed on your system.

The scan compares your system to the hotfixes that are listed in a hotfix catalog and generates a file with the results. The file lists installed, partially installed, superseded, and uninstalled hotfixes.

This report is used when requesting a hotfix package, and can be requested from the user interface or from the command line. Do one of the following actions:

• To start the scan interactively, see Scanning the system from the user interface.
• To start the scan from the command line by connecting to an active instance of Pega Platform, see Scanning the system by submitting a request to an active instance.
• To start the scan from the command line by connecting directly to the database, see Scanning the system by using a direct connection to the database.
