Creating a Patch
All patches require a Patch Server residing inside a Patch Server Group. Instructions for creating them are covered in Creating Patch Servers and Groups. The following instructions proceed with the assumption that you have already created a Patch Server and Patch Server Group.
Note: The Patch tab is only visible to Administrators and Users with the Patch Administrator privilege selected in their ICE account.
