Patch upgrade 8.5.2 to 8.5.5
Hi All,
I am fairly new to the upgrade process and we are performing an in-place patch upgrade from 8.5.2 to 8.5.5 in our Tomcat and PostgreSQL instance. I have requested and downloaded into my local environment version 8.5.5 from the Digital Delivery. I've looked at https://docs-previous.pega.com/keeping-current-pega/85/applying-patch-place but I have not been able to find answers to my questions.
In order to perform the patch upgrade well import the 117075_Pega8.55.zip file into our tomcat server, but what directory should I place the zip file in? After extracting the files, I'll modify the setupDatabase.properties files with the values in setupDatabase.properties on my current installation and run patch.sh from /scripts. Do I need to make any other changes to perform a patch upgrade? Thank you all in advance for your help and patience.

what directory should I place the zip file in?
-> Any directory with execution privilege ( if this is linux/unix OS), The server should have access to Pega DB.
Do I need to make any other changes to perform a patch upgrade?
-> JAVA_HOME need to to be set. Since this is in-place, shutdown all pega nodes.

@SuhasKumar Thank you for your kind help. I have imported the .zip file and modified setupDatabase.properties to include the information in my current installation setupDatabase.properties when i try to run ./patch.sh I get the following error:

@SuhasKumar once again thank you for your kind help. I was able to run patch.sh and the update is in progress. I have a question about the post patch steps.
https://docs-previous.pega.com/keeping-current-pega/85/apache-tomcat-redeploying-pega-platform
to summarize steps taken:
- I created a directory 'Pega_855' in /home/ubuntu and unzipped the patch release .zip file there
- I also created a directory 'temp' in Pega_855 with "rwx" privileges and added the location to "user.temp.dir=" in setupDatabase.properties along with the connection information and same values as in setupDatabase.properties in current version.
- ran patch.sh from /Pega_855/scripts/ and the update is in progress.
After the update completes. I will:
- remove the current prweb.war from webapps directory. This is the prweb.war file for my current version 8.5.2.
- copy prweb.war from /Pega_855/archives/ (prweb.war file for patch upgrade version) to Tomcat_home/webapps/ directory (replacing prweb.war file for version 8.5.2)
- restart the application server
- shutdown the server and delete prweb.war from Tomcat_home/webapps/
- start the server and access Pega platform through the browser
Please let me know if I am missing something for the post patch steps.
Regards, Andy.

@SuhasKumar Huge thank you for your time and help. After adding the temp directory value to "user.temp.dir=" in setupDatabase.properties It worked and I have upgraded to 8.5.5.
