Patch for Java

[Oliver Schmitz]

Dear all,

below I learned how to get a Java sdk. Thank you very much for the advices to this question. Now I have antother one:

I saw that I need a patch for this sdk (It is PHCO_29109). When I read through the advices on that patch decription site I found a list of dependencies whcih end with the comment that "this update will not affect" my system if these patches are not installed. When I select the PHCO_29109 and after that the other dependent patches, the webinterface tells my that the PHCO_29109 superseeds the choosen patch. Do I understand it right that I do not have to install the patches listed in the dependencies section in this case? As you see I am not so familiar with patching a system therefore an answer to this very basic question would be very helpfull.

Than another question: Do I have to install the patch after the Java sdk or before?

Thanks again and with best regards,

Oliver

Oliver,

All of the patches listed as dependencies must either already be on your system, or should be installed with PHCO_29109. Make a list of the ones required, use "swlist -l product |grep -i patch_number" to see if you already have it. If you don't have it, you'll need to download and install that particular patch along with PHCO_29109.

Adding your second question to Pete's answer.

I would install the patches before installing Java.

On the website http://www.hp.com/go/java

is an extensive list of patches that MUST be installed with all dependendcies prior to installation of java.

The best way to go about it is to go to:

http://itrc.hp.com

Patches
HP-UX

Search by patch id
Select the patches and dependencies.

The system will let you create a zipfile patches.zip

download that binary to your system in its own directory.

unzip patches.zip

A create_depot script will unzip.

create_depot(whatever the name precisely is) -d /tmp/depotname.depot

To install(be prepared to boot)

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /tmp/depotname.depot \*

This will get you ready for your java sdk install.

Hi,

for older java versions (1.3) if you have applied Support plus pack, it will suffice, whereas for recent 1.4.1.03 you need some system patches to be applied, which has been mentioned at the site.
