HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) is a tool that consolidates and simplifies patch management and security bulletin management on HP-UX systems. SWA combines
the versatility and power of the HP IT Resource
Center (ITRC) Patch Assessment and Security Patch Check (SPC) utilities, and is the HP-recommended
utility to use to maintain currency with HP-published security bulletins
for HP-UX software.
SWA can perform a number of checks including applicable security
bulletins and installed patches with critical warnings. Once an analysis has been performed, you can use SWA
to download any recommended patches or patch bundles and create a
depot ready for installation.
The SWA tool is new for HP-UX 11i releases as of January 2007.
