and tedious to determine if all 10 patches are listed because they are interspersed among all the
other patches in the output.
For example:
#
# Bundle(s):
#
SOME_BUNDLE_001 rev bundle description
SOME_BUNDLE_002 rev bundle description
#
# Product(s) not contained in a Bundle:
#
SOME_PATCH_001 rev patch description
INDIVIDUAL_XYZ_PATCH_001 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_002 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_003 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_004 rev patch description
INDIVIDUAL_XYZ_PATCH_002 rev patch description
...
SOME_PATCH_067 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_068 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_069 rev patch description
INDIVIDUAL_XYZ_PATCH_010 rev patch description
...
SOME_PATCH_134 rev patch description
INDIVIDUAL_XYZ_PATCH_015 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_135 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_136 rev patch description
...
If you bundle the patches into a bundle called 2005_Q1_APP_XYZ_BUNDLE, it is much easier to
determine if the patches are included in the swlist output.
#
# Bundle(s):
#
SOME_BUNDLE_001 rev bundle description
SOME_BUNDLE_002 rev bundle description
2005_Q1_APP_X_BUNDLE rev bundle description
#
# Product(s) not contained in a Bundle:
#
SOME_PATCH_001 rev patch description
SOME_PATCH_002 rev patch description

Creating a custom bundle
The following example shows how to create a custom bundle. Before you do so, for example,
perform an assessment to determine which patches to add to the periodic patch depot
/my_depots/periodic_depot/. For this example, the following patches will be added to the
periodic patch depot:
• PHCO_24587
• PHCO_25130
• PHCO_28175
• PHCO_28830
Next, download the patches and create a temporary depot (/my_depots/temporary_depot/)
containing the patches. Finally, perform the following steps to create a custom bundle containing
these patches, and copy the bundle to a periodic patch depot. The name of the new bundle is
