Colleague patches are applied from the SUGS mnemonic.  This is accessed using the dmiadmin user and password.  As patch groups are installed, they should be checked against the patch system to ensure that everything is complete.

Use the following procedure:

  1. Pull up patches to be installed in the patch system.  For test, these are any patches marked as Grouped.  For production patches, the test completion date should be at least two weeks in the past.
  2. Open SUGS, enter the dmiadmin user and password, enter Y next to the group you want to install, and save
  3. Check the list of patches in SUGS against the patch system and check the boxes in the patch system to keep track
  4. If necessary, complete any pre-install steps and mark them as completed in the detail from each patch
  5. Select install from the dropdown and save.  Be sure to set the output to HOLD and to process in foreground (unless the patch notes say not to)
  6. Update the patch system by setting the patches to installed
  7. Load SUPI and complete any post-install steps for the group if required
  8. Mark all patches as complete in the patch system
  9. Repeat for each patch group
