Table 7 Defects fixed in March 2010 Web Release
DescriptionDefect ID
When multiple filesets supersede the same fileset, a WARNING is issued that the conflicting
superseding filesets will not be used. However, their names/specifications is not displayed.
This defect is aimed at fixing this problem by displaying the conflicting fileset names.QXCR1000766167
When swinstall is run in the preview mode for selections including at least one reboot fileset
and autoreboot=false, then swinstall will now print the note saying "-x autoreboot" should be
true. This wasn't printed earlier.QXCR1000822070
With this fix, a depot existing only on the active system can be accessed from the DRD clone
too.QXCR1000941503
With this fix, when swpackage and swmodify are invoked with -C option, the sessions file is
stored only at the location specified with -C and not at the default location. Without the -C
option, it is stored only at the default location.QXCR1000948434
Removal of base product in supersession chain results in top most supersession patch left and
intermediate patches removal. Fix will prevent removal of intermediate patches in supersession
chain.QXCR1000861380
swinstall -p exits with SUCCESS status even though one of the selection not exists on depot.
swinstall is returning with SUCCESS in selection phase. A new option enforce_selections is
QXCR1000593453
added. If enforce_selections option is set to true swinstall will exit with FAILURE, even when
any one selection fails.
SD is promoting corequisites to prerequisites in loading order. A new option
loadorder_use_coreqs is used. If loadorder_use_coreqs is set to false, SD will not promote
corequisite to prerequisite in loading order.QXCR1000951260
Enhancement is done to support relative path in source and targets.QXCR1000809519
This fix ensures that if installation of a fileset leads to an unresolved dependency and a new
fileset is selected for installation which is a descendant of the dependent fileset, SD will not
report an error.QXCR1000869644
This fix ensures that when swpackage is interrupted, the depot created is removable using
swremove, even if it is in incomplete or corrupt state.QXCR1000868916
When a depot created using swpackage -x run_as_superuser=false is removed using swremove
-x run_as_superuser=false, the following error is displayed: ERROR:
QXCR1000943545
"<hostname>:<depot_location>An update to the installed product database or depot catalog
may have errors. With this fix, the above errors should not occur.
This fix ensures that when an swcopy session fails during selection, analysis or execution for
a new target depot, the target is removable using swremove -d.QXCR1000950487
