DescriptionDefect ID
In the SD interactive user interface, the type of pop-up dialog that is used to
present software selection messages will now more closely reflect the content
JAGaf83982
of the messages. If one or more selection errors occur (as reflected in the log
file), an "Error" dialog will be used, otherwise a "Note" dialog is used.
Swpackage has a defect that can potentially mispackage a hard link as a
regular file with wrong contents. This can happen if the path being packaged
JAGaf89560,JAGaf87487
as a hard link and the source path defined in the PSF for the hard link both
exist on the system at their installed locations. This occurs when the hard link
is specified in the PSF using the explicit file definition syntax: "file -t h" or "file
-h" or by specifying the hard link using a multi-line file definition syntax
containing the line "type h".
For example:
file type h path <path>link_sourceend <path>
This defect was introduced in the 11i v2 May 2005, 11 v2 December 2005,
and 11i v1 September 2005 Update Releases. It was also introduced in the
11i v1 SD patch PHCO_33822 patch. This defect is fixed in the 11i v2 March
2006 Update Release and is fixed in 11i v1 SD patch PHCO_34295.

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.
