Hi, in What's new in ALM24.1 there is mentioned 'Incremental patching', but I didn't find any more information than shared in here What's New in ALM : "Incremental patching / A new patch installation approach, incremental patching, is available. This approach requires installing the GA release before deploying the patch and enables easy rollback to the GA release."
Does this mean that the patches are 'true incremental? I.e
- patches are incremental and dependent on previous patches and
- each patch only contains changes from the immediate previous version and
- you need to apply each patch in sequence (i.e., patch 1, patch 2, patch 3, and then patch 4), kipping patches is not possible because each patch builds upon the changes of the previous one.
Or does the future patches be cumulative patches, where
- Every patch includes all previous fixes and updates
- and in this model, you can skip patches. For example, you could move from patch 1 directly to patch 4 because patch 4 would include everything from patches 2 and 3.
