This page include the following tabs:
• - Nodes. Displays the list of nodes that require update.
• - Services. Displays the status of the CDI-PC services before, during, and after the domain update.

5On the confirmation message that appears, click Update Domain to confirm.
6Enter the domain credentials and click Update Domain.
A message appears to indicate that the update started. The update job shuts down the domain, applies the update, and then starts the domain and application services.
The Update Domain page tracks the status of each stage of the update. The status information on the Services tab updates after the domain update completes.
7You can refresh the information in the Nodes, Services, or Patches tabs to view updated information.
When the update completes, the domain status moves to Available and the version number updates to the latest update. If the update fails, the domain status that appears depends on the point at which the update fails.
• - If the update fails before the domain is shut down, the status indicates that the domain is available and the update failed.
• - If the update fails after the domain is shut down, the status indicates that the domain is offline and the update failed.
If the update fails in the clean-up or finalize stages, the job generates a warning and continues. Warnings generated in these stages don't impact the update job or the status of the domain. You can continue to use the domain when the update completes.
When the update completes, services return to the state they were in prior to the update. For services that were in the Available state when the update began, the job checks for the status post update. If there is a difference in the status before and at the end of the update, the update job tries to match the service states. The Services table refreshes and indicates if there is a mismatch in the state of a service.
