PatchPro Analysis Engine

Sun Patch Manager 2.0 incorporates PatchPro functionality. PatchPro performs patch analyses on systems, then downloads and applies the resulting patches. This automation functionality was previously available for Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, and Solaris 9 as a separate PatchPro product, and is now part of Sun Patch Manager 2.0.

PatchPro uses signed patches, which improves the security of Solaris patches by ensuring that they have not been modified.

The pprosetup and pprosvc commands are included with Sun Patch Manager 2.0 for transition purposes. It is best not to use these commands and to use the smpatch command instead.
