This critical patch resolves the following issue:
Issue
Deep Discovery Advisor has an update manager built into the management console for applying hot fixes and updates. However, this manager has a size limitation because it was originally designed to resolve small issues or customer-specific concerns. As such, this manager cannot apply large updates, such as Deep Discovery Advisor 3.0 Service Pack 1.
Solution
This critical patch redesigns the Component Updates screen on the management console. That screen becomes Updates and it includes a new tab Product Updates. From this new tab, you may apply all hot fixes, patches, and service packs, and it no longer has the size limitation.
