wpatch [-c source_dir] -i patch [-n] [-y] [install_variables]... managed_node...

The wpatch command installs a Tivoli Enterprise software patch when invoked on the Tivoli server.

-c source_dir

Specifies the complete path to the directory containing the installation image. For source_dir, you can specify either the fully qualified path (for example /cdrom) or the source host and the path in the format source_host:path (for example oak:/cdrom).

-i patch

Specifies the index file from which the patch is installed. Index files have an .IND extension. You can enter the file name with or without the file extension. For example, if the source directory contains the file TMF.IND, specifying either -i TMF or -i TMF.IND indicates the same file.

-n

Installs the patch on all managed nodes that do not currently have the patch installed. This option is ignored if a managed node is specified.

-y

Specifies that the installation should proceed without confirmation. By default, this command identifies the actions that must be taken to perform the installation and requests confirmation before continuing. Using this option, the wpatch command identifies the actions and performs the installation without requesting the confirmation.

install_variables

Specifies patch-specific installation variables. These generally take the form @variable@=value. For details about the installation options for a specific product and its patches, refer to the product and patch documentation.

Note

Type the names of the installation options exactly as specified in the product documentation. Installation options are case sensitive.

managed_node

Specifies the managed node on which a Tivoli patch is installed. Multiple managed nodes can be specified. If no managed nodes are specified, the patch is installed on all managed nodes in the Tivoli management region. In most cases, this option is not specified.
