Have you ever thought that it might be handy to have a way to automagically download and install updates for ArcGIS Enterprise?<\/p>\n

At ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6+, the ArcGIS Enterprise Check for Updates Tool <\/a>has a console option – meaning it can be launched from a command line, or added to a batch script and run from a CRON job or Windows Task Scheduler.<\/p>\n

The command will be similar to <ArcGIS Server installation directory>\\tools\\patchnotification patchnotification.bat -c -o -i all <\/span><\/p>\n

-c : start in console mode<\/p>\n

-i sec: install only security patches<\/p>\n

-i all: install all patches<\/p>\n

-d: specify download location<\/p>\n

-o always: delete the folder the patches were downloaded to after install<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":306832,"id":306832,"title":"patchnotification","filename":"patchnotification.png","filesize":24106,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/patchnotification.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/administration\/howto-schedule-automatic-updates-for-arcgis-enterprise\/patchnotification","alt":"","author":"5311","description":"","caption":"","name":"patchnotification","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":306542,"date":"2018-08-23
