Software Distributor defects fixed in HP-UX 11i v1, v2 and v3

Table 14 HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 Fixes (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
Fixed a memory leak in swinstall and swcopy that caused their process sizes
to increase substantially while processing certain combinations of patch or
patch bundle selections. The problem was most apparent with source depots
containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch
filesets.

A known bottleneck in swcopy and swinstall was causing significant
performance problems during processing of certain combinations of patch
or patch bundle selections. The problem was most apparent with source
depots containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded
patch filesets.
JAGaf63465
The function query_systemfile() in /usr/lbin/sw/control_utils is fixed to
attempt to resolve an expression for tunable value even if the expression
contains a variable name.
JAGaf64052
The SD controller was modified so it suppresses redundant messages when
multiple filesets within a given bundle or product have the same unresolved
dependency.
JAGaf67090
If a serial depot cannot be opened or if the initial read to verify the depot's
format fails due to filesystem permissions, swinstall and swcopy will issue
a misleading error message stating that the depot file is corrupt. The message
was modified to indicate that there was a permissions problem when
accessing the depot file.
JAGaf68135
The swmodify program was changed so it will now permit deletion of the
last entry in a fileset's ancestor list, provided that the fileset is not a patch
(patch filesets must always have at least one ancestor defined).
JAGaf68477
A defect in swinstall's analysis phase was allowing a bundle wrapper to be
installed even when a checkinstall script returned GLOBAL_ERROR.
JAGaf71559
The SD Provider does not return the key bindings from the
enumerateInstances() method. The DMTF and CIM standard requires the
values be returned by the method.
JAGaf72362
The query_systemfile() function in /usr/lbin/sw/control_utils is fixed to
resolve expressions such as 2*NPROC correctly. Previously it treated multiply
followed by a variable name as a comment and stripped it out, even if there
was no whitespace between the multiply character and variable name. With
this fix it treats 2*NPROC as part of the expression when there is no
whitespace between the multiply character and variable name.
JAGaf73432
Fixed a memory lead in the common modules that process Vendor Defined
Attributes (VDAs).
JAGaf73532
The SD agent was modified so it will not treat the failure to remove a backup
file as a fileset error.
JAGaf73605
The error message is improved for the expected abort of SD commands when
invoked by non-root user with environment variable
PTHREAD_COMPAT_MODE is set to 1.
JAGaf74371
When a system's hostname cannot be resolved and swinstall is used to install
from a remote depot, then swinstall core dumps.
JAGaf75216
This release of SD adds integration into SMH (System Management
Homepage).
