Installing Hotfixes and Updates

It is important to keep your CloudBlue Commerce installation up-to-date. Updates and hotfixes are not installed automatically. Use this section to learn how to check for available updates and how to install them.

Warning: Billing must be updated to 20.4 before installing hotfixes.

Connect to the CloudBlue Commerce Management Node via SSH under root.

Run the following command to check for available hotfixes or updates:

oa-update

Note: If a new version of the updates installer is available, you will see a notification about this. Confirm the upgrade and the updates installer will download the new version and perform the self-update operation.

If hotfixes or updates are available you will see a message similar to this one:
