Description
show_superseded_patches=false
The swlist command lists the contents of the IPD. In 11.00 systems, swlist lists all patches in the IPD, whether or
not they are superseded. In 11i, swlist only lists those patches which are active on the system. By setting this
option to true the 11.00 swlist functionality can be turned on in an 11i system (all patches in the IPD are listed).
However, to get the 11i functionality on an 11.00 system, patch PHCO_22526 must be installed and
swlist.show_superseded_patches=false must be added to the /var/adm/sw/defaults file.
