DescriptionDefect ID
When a configure or remove operation fails during the execution of the
swconfig startup script, extraneous output from the swconfig or swremove
JAGaf18336
command is included in the /etc/rc.log file, making it difficult to locate the
pertinent error information. Now, only the standard error output is included
when an operation fails.
Two objects used to obtain bundle and product information from the SD
Provider are not being freed. This results in a memory leak that causes the
cimserver daemon to grow in size.
JAGaf21724
Complex dependencies on patches can cause the SD agent or other SD
commands to abort in some circumstances, due to a problem in handling
OR'ed dependencies.
JAGaf22414
When swmodify is called to remove a product's entry from the IPD and the
product's filesets are not removed too, then swmodify does not remove the
JAGaf23134
product and returns a warning message, but also returns an exit code of 0
indicating success. This condition should produce an error and return an exit
code of 1.
Patch selection and dependency resolution becomes unacceptably slow when
operating on roots or depots that have huge numbers of interdependent filesets.
A number of enhancements were made to reduce performance bottlenecks.
JAGaf24699
When in locale fr_CA.iso88591, English messages are displayed for SD
commands such as swinstall, swlist, etc. This problem is fixed by linking
JAGaf26194
swagent.cat, swagentd.cat, swinstall.cat, swpackage.cat, and swutil.cat from
the /usr/lib/nls/msg/fr_FR.iso85591 directory to the
/usr/lib/nls/msg/fr_CA.iso88591 directory.
Some formatted messages written to SD logfiles are written up to column 79,
although most are written up to column 72. The control_utils msg() function is
incorrectly writing messages beyond column 72.
JAGaf26547
use of 'get_os_rev' in control scripts modifies IFS. Some control scripts may
not work correctly when IFS is modified.
JAGaf27207
the "patch_newconfig_rollcheck" documentation said that it is to be used in
a preremove script. It is actually to be used in a checkremove script.
JAGaf27275
If a patch's fileset is excluded and the patch's postinstall script fails, then the
fileset's status is changed to corrupt which results in the fileset getting installed
JAGaf27457
when it should have remained excluded. This results in internal errors during
swinstall and in swremove if the user tries to remove the bad fileset.
Application of a patch that includes a file in the directory /usr/newconfig
fails to modify the IPD entry for the fileset that is patched. This results in a
swverify error on the base fileset that has been patched.
JAGaf28873
swverify fix creates a warning with the message "Cannot create symlink ""
to ...". The target of the link is NULL.

DescriptionDefect ID
In certain circumstances, SD will not detect that a control script has made a
change to the Installed Products Database. The result is that any changes are
overwritten and lost.
JAGae72478
When a committed patch is configured (or re-configured) in a separate
swconfig session, the patch_state is incorrectly set to "applied" instead of
"committed".
