HP-UX Software Assistant Administration Guide (5900-3003, March 2013)

The HTML report begins with a table of contents, which includes links to all sections of the report.
The Assessment Profile
This section is included in every report. It identifies the catalog used, the inventory used, and the
analysis information for the unique report. The Assessment Profile is required to interpret any report
by giving it context. Using the information in the assessment profile, an analysis can be recreated.
1
Inventory Source – This information describes the system being analyzed and the inventory
information for that system. The Model: information will only be available if the system is
local or accessed with a secure shell connection (ssh). The Inventory Date: is the date
the inventory was run on the system with the swa report or swa step inventory
command.
2
Catalog Information – This is the file downloaded from HPSC with the swa report or swa
step catalog command. The Catalog Date: is a data timestamp indicating when the
catalog was created.
3
Analysis Information – This is the file created when the swa report or swa step analysis
command was run. The Analysis Date: is the date the analysis was run. The ignore files
used in the analysis are indicated. The Issues Ignored: indicate the number of issues
ignored during this analysis.
4
Selected Analyzers – These are the analyzers the reports are based on. Although not listed,
the automatically invoked analyzer (AUTO) is always run and cannot be deselected. The
AUTO analyzer detects problems such as missing dependent patches and unrecognized
patches. If your analysis has detected AUTO issues, you will see an Automatically
invoked analyzers section in the Issue report. Options to analyzers are not included in
the Assessment Profile, such as the patches specified with the CHAIN and PATCH analyzers.
