App Settings
WaitForPatch	Signifies the duration to wait for a patch to be copied completely. Default value is set to ‘60000’ in milliseconds. You can override this value per your requirement.  This value should be more than or equal to 60000 milliseconds to allow the complete patch to get copied and uploaded.

Patch	The path directory where patches are saved. It can be absolute or relative. Default value is set to relative path- ‘..\..\patch-upload\patch’.   NOTE:   Ensure you provide a local path and not a shared drive path. In case of cluster setup where multiple vanguards are running, ensure that defined path is not shared.

Default value is set to relative path- ‘..\..\patch-upload\zip’.   NOTE:   Ensure you provide a local path and not a shared drive path. In case of cluster setup where multiple vanguards are running, ensure that defined path is not shared.

In the Cluster Deployment Setup, ensure Paths/Patch and Path/Zips is present in a local path.
