This report is included in the HTML report. The Detail report is a comprehensive cross-reference between actions and issues, which comes in handy since some issues require multiple actions and some actions satisfy multiple issues.

The Detail report includes information not available in the Action or Issue reports.

1

This is the only report that includes the full SWA Issue ID, which is required in an ignore file.

2

The URL is a link to the security bulletin.

3

The dependencies listed are supporting patches or patch bundles that must be installed. The patches will be listed as action items in the Action report unless they are included in a QPK targeted for installation. Note that it is not uncommon for HP-UX to have patches that are mutually dependent. For more information on patch dependencies, see the Patch Management User Guide, available at http://www.docs.hp.com.

The following example illustrates how one issue, a required Security Bulletin 02284r4, can generate multiple manual actions. The Detail report expands on each of the actions.

Sometimes one action will resolve more than one issue. In the following example, installing PHCO_36506 will resolve both a critical issue and a patch warning. Both patches, PHCO_36506 and PHCO_31562, will appear in the Issue report. Only PHCO_36506 will appear in the Action report. The Detail report below shows the cross-reference of the action to both issues.

The Detail report might include the section, “Unresolved Issues.” These are issues that SWA detected but has no action to recommend. An unrecognized patch installed on the target system is an example of an unresolved issue.

Select this report for display to standard output with the -r detail option to the swa report command or the swa step report command.
