What's New in PatchPro 2.2

PatchPro 2.2 differs from PatchPro 2.1 in the following ways:

• The PatchPro installation program, setup, has been simplified and improved.

  • The installation script assists you in configuring your patch management environment.

    These changes help to prevent problems that are related to incomplete or incorrect configuration of the patch management tool.

  • A prepopulated keystore is now included in the SUNWppcfg package.

• PatchPro 2.2 supports an authenticated web proxy feature. This feature enables users, whose machines are behind a firewall, to use PatchPro when their web proxy requires authentication.

• The location of the PatchPro configuration file, patchpro.conf, has been changed to /etc/opt/SUNWppro/etc.

  The configuration file in /opt/SUNWppro/etc still remains, but is ignored.

• The PatchPro configuration file is now delivered in the SUNWppcfg package instead of the SUNWppro package.

• The pprosetup -i command no longer requires the clientroot:clientusr:noncontract preamble. This preamble is used to specify the patch installation policy for manual mode.

• Critical and quality related bugs from PatchPro 2.1 have been fixed.
