Installing the HP-UX Patch Downloader

In an environment where access to the Internet is restricted to one server, patch binaries and metadata are downloaded to a predefined repository before analysis begins. To download patches from the vendor site, you must first download and install the HP-UX Patch Downloader, a Java-based tool utility:

Installation starts from the patchanalysis.zip file, which was extracted during installation of Vendor Patch Content and placed in a directory on the TrueSight Server Automation Application Server.

Before you begin

Ensure that the host computer on which you install the HP-UX Patch Downloader has Java version 1.5 or later installed.

To install the HP-UX Patch Downloader

1. Locate the patchanalysis.zip file and extract the contents to a location on a server with internet access.
   The HPOakland_Downloader.zip file is placed in the SupportFiles directory (/patchanalysis/SupportFiles).
2. Extract the contents of the HPOakland_Downloader.zip file to a directory on the TrueSight Server Automation Application Server.
   
   The following files are placed in the directory:
   • HPUXContentDownloader.bat: The HP-UX Patch Downloader for Windows.
   • HPUXContentDownloader.sh: The HP-UX Patch Downloader for UNIX or Linux.
   • configuration.properties: A configuration file that specifies parameter values.
   • A ReadMe.txt file with basic information about the HP-UX Patch Downloader
   • A lib directory containing the HPUX_Downloader.jar file.

You are now ready to run the downloader and download patches. For more information, see the following pages:
