Applying a patch involves uninstalling the current version and then installing the patch version. Not all
patch releases include patches for View Composer.

Determine when to perform this procedure. Choose an available desktop maintenance window. Budget
15 minutes to half an hour for each instance of View Composer.

use to run the patch installer.

If View Composer is installed in a virtual machine, take a snapshot of the virtual machine.
For instructions on taking snapshots, see the vSphere Client online help.
n
Back up the vCenter Server database and the View Composer database.
For instructions on performing a database backup, see the documentation from your database vendor.
