3 You can choose to update all the components in a single session by
selecting the
Enable System Set Update check box or you can choose to
perform only an upgrade or a downgrade. For more information on the
System Set Update feature, see "
Upgrading and Downgrading
Components in a Single Session".
4 Click the Update , Upgrade , or Downgrade button. A dialog box prompts
for confirmation to update, upgrade, or downgrade the listed components.
5 Click Yes to continue or No to cancel.
If you click Yes , SUU displays the Update dialog box that shows the
progress of the update/upgrade/downgrade.
6 Click OK when the update/upgrade/downgrade is completed.
The updates are reflected in the Comparison Report.
Ensure that the name of your report or the path in which you save the report
does not exceed 260 characters if you are running SUU on Windows. On
Linux systems, ensure that the name of your report does not exceed
255 characters or the path in which you save the report does not exceed
4096 characters.
Recommended Practices When Running SUU From a Network Location
• The network location must be secure and be accessed only by an
administrator or super-user who has read, write, and execute privileges. It
is also strongly recommended that the network location be unmapped or
unmounted after SUU has completed execution.
• If you cannot update components when running SUU from a network
location, try running SUU on your system. If you can run SUU successfully
on your system, it indicates a problem with the network connection.
• Running multiple instances of SUU from a network location, creates
multiple copies of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system.
Upgrading and Downgrading Components in a
Single Session
You can upgrade and downgrade components at the same time using the
System Set Update feature. This saves you the time and effort of upgrading or
downgrading components one at a time.
