Notes:
•The ancestor attribute identifies the fileset to be patched.
• The true value of the is_patch attribute at the fileset level flags this
fileset as a patch and permits rollback if you use the
patch_save_files option when you install the patch.
Attributes Generated by SD
SD-UX generates the following patch fileset attributes and stores them
in the IPD:
• applied_patches
Set for base (non-patch) software only. Indicates patches that have
been applied to a base fileset. An empty list for this attribute
indicates the fileset has had no patches applied.
• applied_to
Set for patch filesets only. Indicates the base fileset that the patch
was applied to.
• patch_state
Applies to installed patches only. Indicates the current state of the
patch:
applied Patch can be rolled back and has not been
superseded.
committed Rollback files have been deleted.
superseded Patch has been superseded by another patch.
committed/superseded
Patch has been both committed and superseded.
• superseded_by
Applies to installed patches only. Lists the fileset that caused the
current fileset to become superseded.
