J06.04 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

The merge_whatis is a shell script in /bin. It creates and updates the whatis database used
by the OSS shell man, apropos, and whatis commands. You must run the merge_whatis
command once against each directory that contains the man page files to be used.
You will run merge_whatis after using ZPHIRNM. If you have OSS configured to run the OSS
merge_whatis utility automatically, you can ignore running merge_whatis.

If you receive an error indication in the Requests, Status, or EMS Events windows, you might have
to reinitiate the Build/Apply. See the DSM/SCM Messages Manual to determine the nature and
severity of the problem.
Cancel Pending Build/Apply Requests
NOTE: If you inadvertently close the Status dialog box, reopen it by selecting Requests> Requests
list and then double-clicking the request.
1. Select the request to be canceled.
2. Select Requests>Cancel request.
The cancel request action takes a few minutes to finish.
NOTE: If you cannot cancel the Build request through the DSM/SCM Planner Interface, use
the DSM/SCM Target Interface (ZPHITI) to cancel the request. See the DSM/SCM User’s
Guide and online help.
3. Using the Planner Interface, rename the old software inputs:
a. In the Software in Archive dialog box, select the software input.
b. Select File>Show software input description to display the SUT Description dialog box.
c. In the Software name box, edit the software input name so that another operator will
know it is a DSM/SCM input that should not be used to build a new software revision.
d. Click OK.
You must always use the new software input instead of the previously received software input
brought into the Archive.
