New version of Software Assistant is available
SWA is a client-side tool that allows patch and security bulletin analysis to be performed on HP-UX systems. It can be used as a command-line tool or through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).
Please post any comments or questions to this thread.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
Java (Jre15 r>=1.5.0.02.01, Jre60, Jre14r>=1.4.2.09.04)
Judy libraries (Judy-lib r>=B.11.11.04.00)
and 11.11 systems need patch PHSS_22898 or later
If you have HP SIM already installed on the HP-UX system, their dependencies meet ours.
As for size:
8847360 1111_0910_WEB_SWAmega1.depot
14438400 112331_0910_WEB_SWAmega1.depot
As for usage it depends on if you are just creating reports, creating multi-system reports in SIM, or creating depots from the command line. The first uses space in the users home directory while the others can use 100s of Mb under /var.
Be aware that SWA can be installed on one system and analyzer others. The impact on systems being remotely analyzed is less than 1Mb in the remote users home directory.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
You don't need much space. The download is approx. 13 MB and the /opt/swa directory itself is 28 MB after installation is complete.
You will need some room as a cache for patches is you let SWA retrieve patches from HP.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
Sorry to bother you, but I do not have a system to experiment with.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
There are a few odd corner cases with HP SIM, but they can all be addressed through some combination of a SIM restart and use of the script /opt/swa/lbin/configHPSIM.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
If you wish to create depots you will need working room. On HP-UX 11.11 (11iv1) for example the QPK patch bundles require 2 x 600MB. On 11.23 this balloons to 2 x 1.6GB.
If you have an ignite or depot server, that would be the ideal place for SWA. For experimenting anywhere should be fine.

Re: New version of Software Assistant is available
I want to share specific during my trials new SWA software:
1- Server needs an internet connection to get catalog; if you see this error like me:
->>
ERROR: Failed to read: https://ftp.itrc.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDownloadPatch/swa
_catalog.xml.gz?PatchName=/export/patches/swa_catalog.xml.gz Message: URL cannot be
opened. ftp.itrc.hp.com
->>
2- 2nd issue is for HP UX 11iv1 needs patch PHSS_22898 but when you go to the patch database you will see a recommended another patch and last patch replacement here and one of them is crital fix Kernel Patch needs reboot your system:
->>
PHSS_33945passed functional, customer, stress & performance tests
posted: 2007/04/30
notes:critical fix special instructions/other dependencies
PHSS_33946passed functional and customer tests
posted: 2008/06/30
notes:special instructions/other dependencies
->>
So it seems better to apply PHSS_33945 AND dependencies; PHKL_29243 is for critical fix.
