Figure 3-2 HP-UX Patch Supersession Chain

The supersession chain in Figure 3-2:“HP-UX Patch Supersession Chain” (page 29) is composed of two separate supersession chains that were combined when patch PHSS_29156 superseded both PHSS_29026 and PHSS_29008. Again, because of the cumulative nature of HP-UX patches, patch PHSS_29377 delivers all the features and fixes delivered by the other six patches in this supersession chain.

Patch-related attributes

Each of the SD-UX objects described in “HP-UX software structure” (page 17) has a set of properties known as attributes that provide information about the object's characteristics. For patches, these attributes control aspects of patch behavior and define patch properties and relationships. (See “State” (page 20) and “Patch state” (page 19).)

For information about how you can use attributes with the swlist command, see “Which patches are on a system?” (page 21).
