Subject: Re: [pca] Accidental Netbackup upgrade
Thanks Martin,
I will add this to the pca.conf file a give it a go.
Is there any way I can force pca to only apply the recommended and security
patches?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Not being an experienced user of pca it did not immediately occur to me
that pca would also patch Netbackup, can anyone suggest the best method
of excluding patches for a particular application?
If you don't want to use the ignore option, you can alternatively use
the pattern option. Specify a negative pattern by starting it with '!'.
Example:
pca --pattern '![nN]et[bB]ackup'
will not list any NetBackup patches. Attention - when using [t]csh you
must use '\!' instead of '!'). You can put:
pattern=![nN]et[bB]ackup
in a pca.conf file, too.
Is it possible to remove any reference to Netbackup from the
patchdiag.xref file?
Although I don't usually recommend messing around with the xref file, it
should be fine in this case.
I know its possible to use the --ignore switch, but this will involve
identifying the patches and increasing the complexity of the command line.
The patch numbers for NetBackup will be pretty much constant, so it's
just to be done once. Put the ignore statements into a pca.conf file, so
you don't have to specify them on each run of pca.
Martin.
