[Fenglin]

After Successfuly installing SWA, I run the command 'swa report'. I hit the following error "
======= 04/17/09 14:15:41 SST BEGIN Report on Issues and New Software (user=uxadm) (jobid=nspdwas1)

Do you need to use a proxy to access the internet?

[Fenglin]

Because I am doing it in my staging environment where we are not allowed to access internet.

Any other solutions?

Hi

After running the 'swa report', i got the swa_analysis.xml.

Is there a way to make use of this xml file so that I can dwld all the necessary patches?DO I need to use HP SIM 5.2? Any other solutions?

[Torsten.]

You can select if you want to have a html report, have a look into the manual for all options.

Sorry, I am not sure how to dwld the patches in using the swa_analysis.xml file.
Even after I open the file in html format, I dont see how it helps.

Remember my environment does not have access to internet. I need to dwld the list of patches first before I can install on the servers.

Get the patches here from ITRC -> patch database.

Hi

How does this new method, SWA ease the previous way of patching servers? I mean previously I dwld patches from the quarterly bundles on the ITRC. I was thinking that in having this swa_analysis.xml file, I will be able to upload it, then it will be able to retrieve all the relevant patches for me in 1 glance.

Now it looks to me that I need to scroll thru the xml file to see which patch is relevant.

Please advice. Did I misunderstand any?
