DescriptionDefect ID
Support for files larger than 2 gigabytes is now available in Software
Distributor. However, only newer releases of the SW-DIST product can use
depots containing files larger than 2 gigabytes.
JAGaf41930
If ancestors are specified for a fileset, the fileset itself no longer needs to be
specified in the list of ancestors. A match-target will always include the fileset
itself as the first ancestor checked.
JAGaf41931
Files specified to be excluded by the exclude keyword are not excluded when
PSF directory mapping is root or the default.
JAGaf47019
The autoselect_patches and patch_match_target features did not differentiate
between selection errors vs warnings/notes when determining if a patch should
be automatically selected.
JAGaf48690
Non-root swinstall to an alternate root target previously created by root results
in an RPC exception: Connection closed.
JAGaf53516
The message catalog entries for three error messages pertaining to bad
rpc_binding_info values contain truncated text.
JAGaf58112
When a fileset is excluded from installation because its exrequisite dependency
is selected for installation, then the exrequisite dependency fileset's name is
not provided in the error message.
JAGaf59586
swcopy command honors exrequisite declarations and fails to copy them to
the target depot. swcopy should ignore exrequisites and allow the exrequisite
filesets to be copied.
JAGaf60142
The SD man pages were corrected to contain the current URL for the SD
Customer Website.
JAGaf61810
Fixed a memory leak in swinstall and swcopy that caused their process sizes
to increase substantially while processing certain combinations of patch or
JAGaf63449
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containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch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
JAGaf63465
patch bundle selections. The problem was most apparent with source depots
containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch
filesets.
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
JAGaf68135
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.
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).
