If this patch is installed successfully (actually there is still a script executing in the background, and you need to wait 15 to 30 seconds to end), within these 15-30 seconds, if you install a new patch immediately, the following JVM Crash will appear Error reported:

In order to solve this problem, you need to set a sleep time in the script after installing this temporary patch, such as
sleep 30s
Then install other patches and the above problem will not occur.
