Hi,
I have recently discovered PCA and it's great at generating patch reports, but how can I use those reports to download patch bundles for various servers? We download weekly explorers from all of our Solaris servers to a Linux jumpbox for safekeeping, and I create patch reports for all of our Solaris servers from those explorers using PCA on the Linux box. How can I download the patches required for a particular Solaris server to the Linux box using the patch report generated by PCA on the Linux box? I've been playing with command line options and env variables, and I can’t get the syntax right e.g. : $ /usr/local/scripts/PATCHING/pca /mssunix/pca/patch-reports/<pca-report>.txt --user=<user> --passwd=<password> ERROR: Unknown operand: Using (PCA_PATCHDIR is set in the environment) The "Using" obviously comes from the first line of the patch report, but how can I use a patch report to generate a list of patches to download for a particular server? This seems to me like an obvious way to do this, I just can't get the syntax right. PCA seems so great in other respects, I'd be surprised if it couldn't do this. Do I have to manually generate a list of patches from the patch report? (I could script it, but why re-invent the wheel?) Thanks Gordon
