User-based application patching

Patch Manager Plus has started supporting user-based apps for patching, and the following user-based apps are now supported and released:

The patches can be scanned and deployed in the usual way from the missing patches view.
Patches will be deployed only to the required users (users having the app installed and version less than the patch being deployed) on the affected machines.
Patch deployment will be carried out only when the users are logged in and only for the logged-in users.
Patches will be shown as missing until all the users have deployed the latest supported version.
Patches will be shown missing even if one of the users in a machine requires patching.
Patches will be moved to installed only after all the users have the latest supported version.

The following remarks and reasons provide additional insights and explanations:

Remark 1:

"Update is not required for any of the users"

Reason:

Patch detected as missing in the patch scan, but unable to get the user details at the time of installation

Note: If this problem occurs, kindly provide the agent logs to support for assistance.

Remark 2:

"Patch installation cannot proceed with the user(s) logged out"

Reason:

User-based application requires the applicable user to be logged in to apply the patches.
