How to Upgrade From PatchPro 2.1 to PatchPro 2.2 in Non-Interactive Mode

If you are already running PatchPro 2.1 on your system, you can upgrade your system to run PatchPro 2.2.

If you want to upgrade the patch management tool interactively, instead of in a hands-off manner, see How to Upgrade From PatchPro 2.1 to PatchPro 2.2 in Interactive Mode.

If your system is not already running PatchPro 2.1, just install PatchPro 2.2 by using one of the following procedures:

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Change to the directory in which you downloaded the PatchPro 2.2 tar file.


    # cd /export/download/patchpro
    
  3. Run the setup command to install and configure the tool.

    For example, upgrade the Solaris 7 x86 version of the patch management tool:


    # cd pproSunOSx865.7jre2.2
    # ./setup -f UPGRADE=true
    

Caution – Caution –

After the patch management tool is upgraded, you must configure it by running the pprosetup command. See How to Set Up Your Patch Management Environment After a Non-Interactive Installation or Upgrade.

If not configured, the patch management tool will not be functional.
