DescriptionDefect ID
Installation of HP WBEM Services can result in a message in WBEM Services
install log similar to this:
Parsing error:
/usr/lib/sw/wbem/PG_SoftwareDistributor20.mof:466: syntax error before
' '
This is fixed by a change in the SD Provider mof files delivered in the Software
Distributor product.

A package source file specified for the "-t" and the multi line file "type" syntax
is reported as missing when it's not required to be present in the package
area. swpackage may also fail with a segmentation violation when this occurs.

This release clarifies software specification syntax in SD man pages.JAGaf46317
When a patch that delivers a new configuration file is installed, re-installed,
and then removed, the new configuration file remains on the system. This
JAGaf48035
results in an orphan file that is not defined in a product and must be manually
removed from the system.
In a swinstall session, if the "select all" ("\*") command-line mechanism is
used to specify software selections, a bundle wrapper will be installed even
JAGaf48351
when all of its contents is either missing, incompatible, or otherwise excluded
during analysis.
swreg syntax like: "swreg -l depot -u @ /depot" of an unregistered depot
results in the error message displaying "/depot:/depot ...." when it should
display "<hotname>:/depot ..."
JAGaf48471
This release changes a message SD issues for a memory allocation error. The
previous message said "This is probably due to insufficient memory.", the new
message says "This is probably due to insufficient swap space."
JAGaf50358
The file_permissions values for the object's permissions and ownership are
not used when the file specification uses the "-t" syntax. This results in SD
defaults being used instead for settings not specified along with the "-t" syntax.
JAGaf51068
In a non-interactive session, if the user attempts a keyboard interrupt (e.g.,
cntrl-C) during certain periods of the software selection phase, the SD controller
may abort and dump core with a segmentation violation.

DescriptionDefect ID
The SD man pages now describe SW_SESSION_IS_UPDATE and
SW_CONFIG_AFTER_REBOOT environment variables.
JAGaf01457
In an OS update or cold intall, the following message is shown but the update
or install completes successfully. If the interactive SD GUI is specified for the
JAGaf05428
update or install, the message appears in an ERROR popup, even though the
same message in the logfile is not marked as an error or warning.
"The fileset could not be selected due to missing and/or incompatible options
to override compatibility with the current settings of the target system(s)."
The OS-Core.CORE2-KRN fileset is incorrectly unselected due to this problem,
but is then re-selected as a dependency of another fileset, enabling the update
or install to complete successfully. This fixes swinstall to not issue this message
and to not unselect OS- Core.CORE2-KRN.
