5.5 PatchiX Training

An Express release is a release of a new product that has both SUBSYS and
PowerPatch components.
Warning: There is a difference between a SUBSYS add-on of a normal Hewlett-
Packard product and a Hewlett Packard product released through the Express
Release process. If you receive a SUBSYS without a PowerPatch then this is a
normal add-on and you must use the AUTOINST tool to install the SUBSYS. HP
Patch/iX allows the installation of an Express Released product which is a
PowerPatch with some SUBSYS components. HP Patch/iX requires files from the
PowerPatch tape to apply SUBSYS components. A PowerPatch is required in an
Express release because the new product has caused a SUBSYS retrofit, this
means the SUBSYS has changed in some way and the information about the
SUBSYS retrofit is delivered on the PowerPatch tape in the form of several files
(FILEINFO, PRODINFO, DEPINFO, FINxxxxx, DINxxxxx, PINxxxxx).
Mark the activities that you plan to perform then press the Process [f4] key to process
