Verifying System Install or Update
Verifying HP Applications
Chapter 8148
Task 2: Updating the HP-UX Applications Software
If you have determined that the software you identified in “Task 1:
Identifying and Verifying the Bundle” on page 147” is incompatible with
your system and needs to be replaced with a newer version, follow these
steps:
Step 1. Mount the HP-UX Applications DVD.
You must use the HP-UX Applications DVD that came with your OE
media.
Step 2. Go to Chapter 7, “Installing HP Applications and Patches,” on page 133
to install or update the new version using the swinstall command.
Step 3. Use the application to verify the application’s operation.
Open each application, view a working document or project, and perform
typical production operations such as editing a file and printing a report.
If the application does not work as expected, refer to the application’s
release notes and documentation to determine the problem.
