In which scenario do you not need to patch iQService?

Patching iQService may not be necessary in scenarios where updates are limited to the IdentityIQ (IIQ) instance. If the application itself has been updated to a newer version that does not introduce changes or dependencies requiring an updated iQService, then patching the service may not be necessary. This is particularly relevant when the updates made to IIQ do not impact the integration or operation of iQService.

In other cases, such as if there were new features added or security vulnerabilities addressed that affect the iQService functionalities, then those would typically necessitate a patch to ensure full compatibility and security. Therefore, when the changes are restricted solely to the IIQ instance, and iQService continues to perform its designated role without needing modifications, it becomes justifiable to conclude that patching iQService is not required.
