Settings for PKG Jobs

This procedure is essential for any job that installs, uninstalls, upgrades, or downgrades Solaris PKGs or patches.

Solaris admin File

The PKG preferences in the Solaris admin file describe how Solaris PKGs are deployed on Solaris machines. When you install the Sun Update Connection – Enterprise Agent on a Solaris machine, the path name of the Solaris admin file is /opt/local/uce/agent/config_files/admin.

You can change these parameters in the Preferences -> Host -> PKGs window, to change the parameters individually for a specific host; or you can point Sun Update Connection – Enterprise to your own customized Solaris admin file.

Configure Agents on Idle

This procedure explains the steps for changing the Sun Update Connection – Enterprise preferences of Solaris agents in your environment. You cannot do the steps if the agent is busy with an Sun Update Connection – Enterprise job. Make sure the agents are idle before continuing.
