Applying Patches to Your System

Patch Manager can apply patches to your system.

If you use the smpatch add command to apply particular patches, it attempts to apply only those patches that you specified. The smpatch add command does not attempt to resolve patch dependencies. If you want to apply a patch that has a missing dependency, the patch is not applied. You can use the smpatch analyze command or the smpatch update command to resolve patch dependencies.

When you use the browser interface to apply patches that you selected from the list of patches, each patch is downloaded (if necessary) before it is applied.
