New Functionality in the 1.0.1 Release

The following new functionality is in Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0.1:

• Replacement of MySQL Database Server with PostgreSQL

• Enhancements to Solaris Patch Handling

Replacement of MySQL Database Server with PostgreSQL

Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0.1 replaces the MySQL database server in the SDS with a PostgreSQL database server. Every effort has been made to make the administration and operation of the PostgreSQL database server transparent to users.

The upgrade process from Aduva OnStage 439 or Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0.1 will automatically migrate existing data from the MySQL database to the new PostgreSQL database instance.

Enhancements to Solaris Patch Handling

Patches that are bundled with a Solaris package, and are NOT available through Sunsolve used to be ignored by the agent seeking mechanism.

This caused:

• Failures in the patchadd/patchrm execution as these patches are invisible to the agent resolve - but not invisible to the patchadd/patchrm command dependency checks.

• Wrong incident reports

The new release of Sun Update Connection - Enterprise introduces an optimization in this area, such that whenever a patch, which is unknown to the application, is detected as installed, the agent tries to mark the closest patch (with a lower revision in the vtree) as implicitly installed. In this case at least the obsoleted revisions will be marked correctly and the resolve/reports will generate the correct results.
