APA problems after installing patches

[Jdamian]

After installing PHNE_24308 for APA, APA startup script failed.

I found the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf was not properly configured. I modified it and then APA script ran successfully.

As mistake was on that file, I thought it was recently modified. Then I recovered this file from older backup (6 months ago) and notice that "wrong" configuration existed since 2 years ago, but for all these long, APA never failed.

I think this new patch brings about this failure.

What do you think ?

P.D: This sort of behaviour make me to untrust HP patches

At the bottom of the patch description, you will find this:

A new version of file /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf is delivered as part of this patch,as /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file.

If you have edited /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf file, you may want to merge these files.

My question is:

how did APA run properly before it its configuration file was wrong ?

[harry d brown jr]

What are the differences? Could it be that a parameter name in the old file ws not spelled (including case) correctly?

Can you post the differences?

thanks,

There is no difference.
The file has not been changed since Nov 2000

I haven't noticed before. But that description is wrong. No /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf is provided in PHNE_24308.

Yoy may refer to /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

I ran the following command:

swlist -s /mnt/tmp/in_cdm.depot -l file PHNE_24308 | grep hp_apaportconf

The output is:

PHNE_24308.APA-INIT: /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf

Thus, the /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaportconf remains unchanged.
