DescriptionDefect ID
SD will not allow invisible characters in psf.QXCR1000578749
The time stamp of /usr/bin/ccwas updated after running swinstall. This was because
the Upgrade product was installed on the machine. This issue is documented as a known
issue QXCR1000937726 in Known Problems and Limitations.
QXCR1000937726
swinstall(1) man page which says that if SW_INITIAL_INSTALL is set to any value during
a cold-install. This is not correct as Ignite-UX sets it to '0' when it is ready to build a kernel.
QXCR1000969551
The decription of SW_INITIAL_INSTALL has been changed to : This variable is normally
unset. If it is set to 1, the swinstall session is being run as the back end of an initial system
software installation ("cold" install). If it is unset or set to any other QXCR1000969551
value, then it is not a cold-install session.
This fix introduces a new option return_warning_exitcode. With this option any SD
controller commands will return 2 when there are any warnings but no errors during SD
controller operations. It is applicable only for single targets
QXCR1000972301
With this fix, when any of the GUI of swinstall, swremove and swcopy command's
help dialog box is opened, the “Missing Graphic” no longer appears. The note icon "i" is
seen.
QXCR1000985995
Utf8 locales will be supported in SD with this fix.QXCR1000986478
This fix addresses a potential hang with 1003 version of SD, during a DRD update.QXCR1000998317
There is a problem in swask(1) command.QXCR1001023437
With this fix the machine will be rebooted after installing a product having normal fileset
whose control script returns 12 as exit code.
QXCR1000885370
The sort algorithm in tlfileset.sh in the Upgrade product results in poor performance
of swinstall. Since the Upgrade product is obsoleted, this issue cannot be fixed and is
documented as a known issue in Known Problems and Limitations.
