View and edit Unix patch properties

The SA Client displays information about Unix patches that have been imported into Server Automation as described in Unix patch information. You can edit some of a patch’s properties in the properties view. Some properties are not editable.

You can set the install and uninstall parameters on either the patch properties page or when you are install or uninstall the patch. The parameters on the Properties view are saved in the SA Library, but the parameters specified during a patch install or uninstall are used only for that action. The parameters specified during an install or uninstall override those on the patch Properties view.

To view or edit information about a patch:

1. In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patches.
2. Expand Patches and select a specific Unix operating system.
3. (Optional) Use the column selector to sort the patches according to Name, Type, Availability, and Description.
4. In the content pane, select a patch.
5. Right-click the patch or, from the Actions menu, select the Open menu. This displays the patch in a separate screen.
6. If you have modified any properties, select File > Save to save your changes.
