DescriptionDefect ID
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containing high numbers of densely interdependent and superseded patch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).
JAGaf68477
A defect in swinstall's analysis phase was allowing a bundle wrapper to be
installed even when a checkinstall script returned GLOBAL_ERROR.
JAGaf71559
The SD Provider does not return the key bindings from the enumerateInstances()
method. The DMTF and CIM standard requires the values be returned by the
method.
JAGaf72362
The query_systemfile() function in /usr/lbin/sw/control_utils is fixed to resolve
expressions such as 2*NPROC correctly. Previously it treated multiply followed
JAGaf73432
by a variable name as a comment and stripped it out, even if there was no
whitespace between the multiply character and variable name. With this fix
it treats 2*NPROC as part of the expression when there is no whitespace
between the multiply character and variable name.
Fixed a memory lead in the common modules that process Vendor Defined
Attributes (VDAs).
JAGaf73532
The SD agent was modified so it will not treat the failure to remove a backup
file as a fileset error.
JAGaf73605
The error message is improved for the expected abort of SD commands when
invoked by non-root user with environment variable
PTHREAD_COMPAT_MODE is set to 1.
JAGaf74371
When a system's hostname cannot be resolved and swinstall is used to install
from a remote depot, then swinstall core dumps.
JAGaf75216
This release of SD adds integration into SMH (System Management
Homepage).

DescriptionDefect ID
Certain messages were not structured well for translating into other languages.JAGae59730
In an interactive swinstall or swcopy session, if the analysis phase fails because
all selected filesets were skipped or excluded, and if some of those filesets
JAGaf10364
were excluded in order to avoid creating a split patch (i.e., the
"allow_split_patches" option was set to its default value of "false"), then SD
