Patch Analyzer

When you use the Solaris^TM Web Start program to upgrade to a Solaris 8 Update Release, the patch analyzer performs an analysis on your system to determine which (if any) patches will be removed or downgraded by upgrading to the Solaris Update Release. You do not need to use the Patch Analyzer when you upgrade to the Solaris 9 release.

For information on using this tool when you are upgrading to a Solaris 8 update release, see “Upgrading to a Solaris Update Release (Tasks)” in Solaris 9 Installation Guide.
