It’s especially important to follow specific instructions if you have built any customizations in Sage X3. When in doubt, it is highly advisable to consult with your Sage X3 consultant before making any changes to your system to avoid any unforeseen disruption. When you are ready to download a patch file we hope these step by step instructions will help. It’s really quite easy with Sage X3!

4 Steps to Create Sage X3 Customization Patches

If you have created customizations in a Sage X3 folder and you need to perform the same or similar changes in another X3 folder, you’ll be pleased to know that you don’t need to waste your time trying to recreate everything again from scratch. The more efficient way to do it is to create a patch from the folder you have your customizations in and apply it to the destination folder. Some details need to be followed to get the expected result.

Step 1: Pick/Create an Activity Code.

Navigation: Development> Data and parameter> Development setup
Activity codes are used to identify changes to standard X3 components.

Step 2: Automatic patch creation

Navigation: Development> Utilities> Patches> Automatic patch creation
The automatic Patch creation function allows you to select the objects you need to include in your patch file for a specific date range and for a specific user.

Step 3: Patch creation

Navigation: Patches are created using the Patch creation function (APATCH) under patches in the Development > Utilities block.
Load the automatic patch file created in step 2

Add/Delete Object to take only the change you need.

Enter the activity code and click to create the patch file.

Step 4: Patch integration

Navigation: Patches are integrated using the patch integration function under patches in the Development > Utilities > Patch integration.
Select the patch file and the destination folder you need to apply the patch.
