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 |

Patch management for UNIX
Patch Management for UNIX enables you to identify, install, and remove patches, to maintain a high level of security across managed servers in your organization. Using the SA Client, you can identify and install patches that protect against security vulnerabilities for AIX operating systems.
SA allows you to react quickly to newly discovered security threats and also provides support for strict testing and standardization of patch installation. If patches cause problems after being tested and approved, SA allows you to uninstall the patches in a safe and standardized way.
SA stores patch information in the SA Library that includes detailed information about every server under management, the patches and software installed on the servers, and the patches and software available for installation. You can use this data to determine the severity of your exposure to a newly discovered threats, and to help assess the benefits of rolling out a patch versus the costs in downtime and testing requirements.
By automating the patching procedure, SA can reduce the amount of downtime required for patching. SA also allows you to schedule patch activity, so that patching occurs during off-peak hours.
Patch Management for UNIX provides the following capabilities that enable you to browse patches by a certain operating system, schedule patch downloads and installations, set up email notifications, preview a patch installation, use software policies and remediation to install and uninstall patches, and export patch information to a reusable file format:
- The SA Library where patches are stored and organized in their formats
- A database that includes information on every patch that has been applied
- Customized scripts that can be run before and after a patch is installed
- Advanced search abilities that identify servers that require patching
- Auditing abilities that enable security personnel to track the deployment of important patches
