Failure to download patch bundle from FTP site: VPC Patching for HPUX Bladelogic

[Todd McDaniel_1]

okay, i am trying to figure out why my patch download is failing for hpux.

I setup my swa.conf file to go for the ftp site directly with no authentication, but the download keeps failing. the url works fine in my browser.

SWA.CONF
============================================
catalog_source=http://ftp.itrc.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDownloadPatch/swa_catalog.xml.gz?PatchName=/export/patches/swa_catalog.xml.gz
crl_check=false
============================================

How can i test it from the commandline on my SWA server? Our appserver env is on linux, so I must have a separate hpux SWA server to handle the patch analysis and download portion.

Here is the error I am seeing.

I will attach my job parameters in a screenshot. the paths are correct.

I wasnt able to attach my parameters of my job, but there should be enough info here to give an answer.

Check your browser for a defined proxy. Your command line check would be:

swa step catalog -x catalog_source=http://ftp.itrc.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDownloadPatch/swa_catalog.xml.gz?PatchName=/export/patches/swa_catalog.xml.gz -x proxy=http://YourProxyHere:YourPortHere

Oh, and crl_check is only needed for https sources.
