Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Import a Solaris patch to SA Client
You can also import Solaris patches by using the SA Client.
Solaris patches are downloaded from Oracle and stored in SA.
To see if a patch has been imported, view the patch’s Availability property in the SA Client. The Availability property of an imported patch can be set to one of the values listed in the following table.
Patch availability setting |
Description |
---|---|
Available |
The patch has been imported into SA, has been tested, and can be installed on managed servers. |
Limited |
The patch has been imported into SA but requires additional permissions (Manage Patch: Read & Write) to be installed. This is the default patch availability. For more information on permissions, see the SA 10.51 |
Deprecated |
The patch cannot be added to patch policies but can still be installed. |
Not Imported |
The patch is not stored in the SA library. |
You must have permissions to import Solaris patches or patch clusters. To obtain these permissions, contact your SA administrator. See the SA 10.51
To import a Solaris patch or patch cluster from a file into SA:
- In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patches. The patches are organized by operating system.
- From the Actions menu, select Import Software to open the Import Software window.
-
Click Browse to locate and select the patch or patch cluster to import.
Before you click Open in the Open window, select the character encoding to be used by the patch or patch cluster from the Encoding drop-down list.
You must specify the character encoding so that SA can extract the metadata contained in the patch or patch cluster and then correctly display the information in non-ASCII characters in the SA Client, such as in the Patch Properties window. Patch metadata includes comments, READMEs, scripts, descriptions, and content lists.
-
Click Open.
-
In the Import Software window, from the Type drop-down list, select either Solaris Patch or Solaris Patch Cluster.
This action grays out the Folder edit field because Solaris patches and patch clusters are not stored in folders.
-
From the Platform drop-down list, select the applicable Solaris operating system.
-
Click Importt to import the Solaris patch or patch cluster into SA.
-
Run the following command to update the Solaris patch information in SA:
solpatch_import -a update_db
