Hi,All.
What is purpose for additional Core Enhancements ?
And,
I check our system:
swlist -l bundle | more

Does anyone tell us that our system includes HP-UX 11.0?@ACE(additional Core Enhancements) 99/11?

swlist -l bundle | egrep -i ACE
I cannot see any information.
Thanks for any information...

What does "ACE" mean?
An ACE bundle is, as it's name implies, a collection of enhancements to the HP-UX 10.20 Operating System. This ACE release (December 1999) extends HP-UX to support new hardware and software features. In addition to extending the capabilities of HP-UX 10.20, the ACE software corrects any critical or serious defects discovered since the original release of HP-UX 10.20. Other than correcting defects, ACE software does not modify the behavior of the base operating system. After you load ACE software on your computer, you will still be running HP-UX 10.20.

Hi:

If you have already done:

swlist -l fileset|grep -i ACE

and do not find the full bundle, or do not find a particular patch you are looking for on your server, then it is simply not installed.

If "ACE for HP-UX 11.00, November 1999" is installed as a bundle then "swlist -l bundle" should show-
XSWGR1100 B.11.00.47.08 General Release Patches, November 1999 (ACE)

That ACE is available on CDROM or by download from
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=XSWGR1100

That page includes this description of the features-
