Using the TLP Tool (Task Map)

This task map includes all of the tasks that are required to use the TLP tool.

Task	Description	For Instructions
Create individual TLP patch sets.	The main purpose of the TLP tool is to create patch sets for client systems. TLP creates one individual patch set per client system. You can then install the individual patch sets on the client systems.	How to Create Individual TLP Patch Sets
Install the TLP patch sets.	TLP creates patch sets for client systems. Note that TLP does not install or distribute these patch sets. However, the tool does provides a variety of helper files for easy installation of the patch sets.	How to Install a TLP Patch Set
Customize whitelists and blacklists.	A whitelist is the list of all the patches to be included in the patch set. A blacklist is the list of all patches to be excluded from the patch set. To customize these lists, edit the individual files. These files are referenced in the `tlp.cfg` file during patch set creation.	How to Customize Whitelists and Blacklists
Update the `WITHDRAWN` patches list.	When problematic patches are withdrawn from SunSolve, TLP identifies these patches, so they are not installed. TLP enables you to update information about withdrawn patches with a `WITHDRAWN` patches file.	How to Update the `WITHDRAWN` Patches List
Interpret a TLP report.	TLP reports are automatically generated when you create patch sets. The reports are generated in two formats: HTML, and ASCII text. The reports contain important information to assist you in implementing the appropriate patch strategy at your site. Note that information on the text report is not included in this guide.
