AE Services updates and patches

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

Avaya periodically provides updates and patches for the AE Services software.

  • An update provides new features or enhancements to the AE Services system. An update might also include bug fixes. Avaya releases updates only on an as-needed basis for critical fixes. Updates are effected by the update command.

  • A patch addresses a specific issue related to a specific component or a set of components in the AE Services system.

When you install an update or patch:

  • The install script installs the new version of the RPMs in /var/disk/software.

  • The update script backs up the current RPM before installing the new version of the RPM.

The /var/disk/software directory also contains all of the previous versions of the RPMs. To see all updates or patches installed on a server, use the swversion -a command.

Note:

When updates and patch releases become available, see the Release Notes for a particular update or patch release.
