Limitations When Using the patch Keyword

Note the following limitations when using the patch keyword:

• Patches cannot be retrieved from FTP locations or local backup, such as tape.

• Signed patches cannot be added.

• Patches must be installable with the patchadd command.

• If a patch depends on a patch that is not currently installed, the patch is not installed. An error message is logged into the installation or upgrade log file.

• You must determine the correct order of the patches for a correct installation of the patches.
