Also pls help to confirm "update-ux -p -s /dvdrom"  for OE upgrade  wont install anything ?..becaz i noticed update-ux  in preview mode also installing some products  on my server ..why it so ?...

       * Copying an SD agent from the source depot

       * Installing the Update-UX product

Updating HP-UX libraries (which update-ux will be doing) means that you need to re-link your database and applications. relink is very fast and is not a reinstallation. The relink command is in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. Check your SAP documents for any steps needed after HP-UX patches or updates have been applied. You can re-link everything before the update to correct any issues. Then the update-ux and relink should work well.

>> preview mode also installing some products  on my server ..why it so ?...

If you are referring to the update-ux components:

       * Copying an SD agent from the source depot

       * Installing the Update-UX product

         Current update-ux version: 11.31.22

         Source depot update-ux version: 11.31.22

       * Installing the SW-GETTOOLS product

then the answer is yes.

The reason is that update-ux needs the latest version of these tools before starting the preview or installation.
