Sun update manager with patch manager

I need to use both products since I have systems running Solaris 10, 9 and 8. Is there a way to get them to work together?
Ideally, I would like to have 1 system talk to SUN to manage the application and downloads. I would want the system to distribute the patches to all the other systems.

Yes, this is possible. We would recommend setting up Sun Update Manager on Solaris 10 as your patch proxy (with a connection to Sun). Both Update Manager on Solaris 10 and Patch Manager on Solaris 8 and 9 can then be configured as clients.

How to locate previously downloaded updates downloaded with Application Manager?

Hi, I downloaded a load of updates using the Application Manager earlier and the installation process on all of the updates was interupted by an error.
I notice that a few GB of space is now 'missing' from my HD and I can only assume that the dowloaded files are sitting somewhere in my system.
Does anyone know how to locate the downloaded updates so I can delete them/install them manually? I'm not too fussed about the error or why it occured, I'm just concerned about my disk space as I don't have the biggest hard drive in my MacBook.
Thanks

Consider buying an external drive. They're very cheap these days. It's not worth your time to be fussing about a few megabytes of files.
With that said, if you open the Application Manager again by choosing Help > [Adobe application] Help , it will probably continue the installation that was interrupted.

Recent Fingerprint Reader update conflicts with Password Manager

Hi,
After udating my Fingerprint Reader software to the most recent 64-bit 5.9.6.7084 version, my Password Manager (ver 3.20.0333.00) can no longer find the device. Am I the only one having this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are using the older Password Manager that's bundled with Client Security Solution. And you need to update it to use the latest fingerprint software.

If you don't need the complexity of Client Security Solution, then another option is to start using the new stand-alone Password Manager 4.0

I manually trashed the the Adobe Extension Manager CS6 from my Applications folder.

Integrating Identity Manager with Access Manager

We have a plain vanilla installation of Identity Manager 5.5. We are attempting to integrate Access Manager 7 (also plain vanilla install). Both were deployed into Application Server 8.1 (all running on Solaris 10 x86).
Here is what we ran into:
1) When IDM is the only application deployed in Application Server, we can log in to its administration console with the base ID of "configurator" without a problem. Next, we installed Access Manager 7 without any errors. Now when we attempt to log into the IDM administration panel (still using "configurator"), IDM can no longer find the �configurator� ID. We tried using AM to add an ID of "configurator" to the LDAP directory (figuring that was the problem), but we still cannot get into IDM. What do we need to do to "integrate" these two products? We haven't even attempted customization yet.
2) Does anyone know of ANY sample apps that show IDM and AM working together?
Thanks in advance

Raghavan,
Do you have any template doc for this configurations, We did the same only thing that we changes is instead of using the fully qualified DNS name we used the ip address in the AMConfig.properties file.
Any ideas?

Batch management with Inventry management .

Hi dear all,
At the time of GR against Purchase Order , i want to copy characteristic in batch from a table .pls help me to map this requirement .
Regards
Prerna

A batch determination does not populate characteristic values, it just uses characteristic values that are available in your batch record.
the valuation of the batch characteristic is usually done when you create the batch during a goods receipt.
You have to have the batch classification (class 022 or 023) in your material master, from there it is copied and valuated when you create a batch for this material.

Installing MS Office Updates using SCCM 2012 patch management.

Hi,
We have SCCM 2012 in our customer environment, we would like to deploy MS office 2012 non-security updates using SCCM patch management. Can someone help me how to configure non-security updates on SCCM 2012 and deploy the same.
Regardsm
Madhan

The process of deploying non-security updates and security updates are the same.
As a side note:
To reduce the numbers of required updates, you can also download service packs, and other updates (msp files) and copy them to the update folder of your Office installation source. Then they will be installed as part of the Office deployment process.

ZCM Patch Management Patch Status Inaccuracies

We currently have issues with ZCM Patch Management incorrectly reporting the status of a couple of Microsoft updates. Specifically, we have firm evidence of this for the following patches (but suspect there may be more):
Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer shows it as required, ZCM says its already applied.
MS11-049 InfoPatch 2007 - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer shows it as required, ZCM says it's not applicable.
We are checking the ZCM status in both the {guid}.state file on the device (which has today's date stamp) and in ZCC - both of these places show the same, incorrect, status.
We see this issue on multiple managed devices. The zone is 10.3.3. Devices have 10.3.3 with Patch Management Agent Update 2.
This isn't a timing issue, as we have left things several days before checking the status again.
I am raising a call with our Novell reseller, but am interested to find out if anyone else is seeing similar issues.
Thanks,
Martin

Anybody have a truly functional Patch Management Component?

Does anyone have a flawless Patch Management component? One that updates caches, distributes patches, completes a daily subscription download, and just works the way it's designed to? If so, what's your setup? ZCM and agent version, Windows, SLES, Internal DB, etc? I'm just curious if switching our configuration would help our situation. We've had issues with Patch Management for as long as we've had the product. I have two SRs in and nothing is happening. :-(
We're running the ZCM 11.2.1/SLES 11 virtual appliance. Single primary and an internal Sybase DB.

Originally Posted by jdkoerner

reboot. For example a number of Lync patches don't end up with the
/norestart switch even if you set the deployment to no reboot.
Getting individual patches fixed is a real pain. I have one SR from March
that still has not got anywhere and it actually the second one for the same
problem. I stopped doing new SRs for individual patches after I got Acrobat
reader 10.1.2 and then 10.1.3 fixed so they would install correctly on 64
bit machines. Now 10.1.4 is wrong with the same problem but I am sick of
going through the hassle when nothing was learned or carried forward from
the 2 previous patches. I think problems with individual patches obviously
don't get much priority but if they don't work then what is the point of
using patch management.
I am sure most of us here could generate a list of patches that do the
forceful no warning reboot but not sure if we would have to SR each one or
could do it as a bundle. If we dumped in a number of them the may get
looked at with a little more urgency.

Difficulty in installing Patch manager 2 on Solaris 9

Hello,
I have a Solaris 9 machine on which I am trying to install Patch Manager
2. I have PatchPro 2.2 also installed on the same machine.
Since PatchManager2 requires some patches to be installed previously
like: 112945 117593 117595, I tried to install these. The last one
117595 if I understood correctly contains the patch manager itself. The
problem is that I installed 112945-40 which the patch manager doesn't
like and would instead require 112945-27. I tried patchrm 112945-40 and
patchrm -f 112945-40 but invain. I also tried patchadd 112945-27 and
patchadd -u 112945-27 but invain also.
# patchadd -u 112945-27
Checking installed patches...

Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 112945-27 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/112945-27/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
The following is the log file:

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and

Continuous change management with SolMan?

Hello,
I wonder wether it is possible do run a continuous change management with Solution Manager for all changes I want to implement in a System?
What I need is a solution to manage all the common change requests and not only for single projects.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
Bye

yes it is possible across the project using Quality Gate management in EHP1 version
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/a9/0473a0d3f74adcaa6c6b4be7635867/frameset.htm
Quality Gate Management gives you an overview of the status of the software distribution of your projects. It gives an integrated and consistent overview of the implementation of changes to your SAP software solution, for all operational units of the various organizations in a company. This increases the transparency of the software change process.
Quality Gate Management combines different software developments in one logical structure. These developments are in turn collected in projects. You can organize and monitor the distribution of software by projects and their changes.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/a9/0473a0d3f74adcaa6c6b4be7635867/frameset.htm
The prerequisites for setting-up quality gate management are:
Assign quality gate management roles
Configure the system landscape in the Transport Management System (TMS)
Create a project in the Project Administration and enter required data in Quality Gate Management.

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi
