Patching the Sage X3 Runtime component in isolation

2 minute read time.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: April-2021: This document has been superceeded by the April 2021 technology patch updates and is therefore no longer up to date and is not being maintained going forward.  This blog article is only being retained for historical reference.   For information on the relevant technology stack versions that are currently certified, please refer to https://www.sagecity.com/gb/sage-x3-uk/f/sage-x3-uk-announcements-news-and-alerts/147993/sage-x3-latest-patches

Whilst it is possible to patch X3 technology components to a higher level, you do need to be more cautious when it comes to the Runtime component.  It is generally NOT recommended to patch the Runtime component to a higher version than the X3 patch level it was released with.  This is because there could be a dependency between the runtime and X3 patch level.   This recommendation applies to all Sage X3 versions, but Version 12 in particular has some specific changes with wide impact.

The exception to the above statement is when a runtime hotfix is released which is suitable for that particular X3 patch level, as per the tables below:

Version 12

12.0.25 (2021 R1) 93.2.50 93.2.50

*2019 R5 (Runtime 92.1.91) the script archive mechanism (atx.ind) is no longer used and also changed to using 64-bit encoding of adx files

IMPORTANT: With V12 you MUST always apply the corresponding AdxAdmin component (same version number as the Runtime) when patching the Runtime.   It is recommended to also apply the latest X3 Console as part of this process.  You can find the latest versions for V12 listed on our Announcements web site
