HP-UX Software Assistant Release Notes (December 2011)

for the Java Virtual Machine. To work around this issue, select Tasks & Logs→View Task Results...
from the HP SIM toolbar and delete all SWA Inventory tasks.
If SIM appears to hang when you select Tasks & Logs→View Task Results..., it is possible to allocate
additional memory to Java using the following procedure:
1. Stop the SIM server.
# /sbin/init.d/hpsim stop
2. Edit /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props to include the following:
JVMMAXHEAP=1000
JVMMINHEAP=48
JVMNEWSPACE=32
3. Restart the SIM server.
# /sbin/init.d/hpsim start
Once SIM has been restarted, the Task Results page should be accessible.
If the value of JVMMAXHEAP is not large enough, /var/opt/mx/logs/mxdomainmgr.0.log
will contain a message similar to
15:41:33,147 ERROR [STDERR] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
If this is seen, further increase the value of JVMMAXHEAP and restart the server.
Version C.01.00
• The initial release of SWA does not support checking of the certificate revocation list (CRL).
NOTE: This item was fixed in the June 2007 release.
• In the initial release of SWA, the default permissions of the /var/opt/swa/cache directory
are set to read only by root. In a subsequent release, Hewlett-Packard plans to allow read
access by non-root users to allow creation of depots by non-privileged users. Write access to
this directory will still be restricted, so the value of 'swcache' must be set to an alternate location
to allow non-root users to download software.
NOTE: This item was fixed in the June 2007 release.
• The initial release of the SWA user interface does not implement the following Security Patch
Check (SPC) functionality. You would still have to run the security_patch_check command
to use these options. Please note that SPC is included in the SwAssistant bundle. See the
security_patch_check(1M) manpage.
◦ -a
This option causes security_patch_check to behave as though all ancestors (filesets)
are installed on the target system. This option is useful for analyzing a patch depot by
itself.
◦ - or -f filename
Using - causes security_patch_check to read from standard input. Using -f
filename causes security_patch_check to read from a file.
◦ -m
Display output in a machine-parsable format. This format contains zero or more
recommended-action records in the format:
action-name:
{<tab>field-name:<tab>field-text
[<tab><tab>more-field-text]... }...
