The action that PatchTool should perform.

--path or -p The path to the instance folder

The path to the MYOB Acumatica application instance folder or to the MYOB Acumatica installer folder.

Example: --path "C:\Program Files\MYOB Acumatica\MyInstance"
--zip or -z The path to the backup archive file

The path to the .zip archive with backup files.

When applying a patch, the utility creates the backup archive file at the specified location. When uninstalling a patch, the utility loads the backup archive file from the specified location.

If the parameter is omitted, the utility will create or load the file from the default backup folder. The location of this is determined by the BackupFolder parameter of the instance's web.config file. Typically, it resides at %Program Files%\MYOB Acumatica\BackUp\Sites\<instance name>, where <instance name> is the name of the application instance website.

Example: --zip "C:\Backup\archive.zip"
--archive or -a The path to the patch archive file.

Specifies the path to the .zip archive with patch files.

Use this parameter to apply a patch when the machine where your MYOB Acumatica instance is installed does not have internet access and cannot download the patch file.

Example: --archive "C:\Patches\patch2025p4.zip"
