Use format as,

product

tag="product name"
architecture="<>"
machine_type *
os_name HP-UX
os_release "B.11.*"
os_version "*"
directory

# fileset 1
fileset
tag
revision
architecture
machine_type *
os_name HP-UX
os_release "B.11.*"
os_version "*"
directory destination = source location
file -m -o -g destination source
file_permissions -m -o -g
end

# fileset 2
fileset
tag
revision
architecture
machine_type *
os_name HP-UX
os_release "B.11.*"
os_version "*"
directory destination = source location
file -m -o -g destination source
file_permissions -m -o -g
end

end

Use format like that.

Check this:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90789/ch05s04.html

You have to set is_patch true to denote it as patch.

It is having a real example.
