The following sections describe actions for you
to take after you have completed the dupatch installation
procedure.
Enabling the Version Switch After Installing a New Style Patch
Kit |
 |
Some
patches may require you to run the versw -switch command to enable the new functions delivered in those
patches. (See “Version Switches” for information
about version switches.) You perform this action after dupatch has completed the installation:
The new functionality will not be available until after
you reboot your system. You do not have to run the versw
-switch command, but if you do not, your
system will not be able to access the functionality provided in the
version switch patches.
Remove Temporary Directory |
 |
Once your patch kit is installed, delete the temporary
directory in which you expanded the patch kit tar file. For example:
Removing the temporary directory will preclude
the possibility of using that directory for subsequent patch kit installations.
When performing a patch kit installation, using a directory that contains
files from a previous patch kit installation can leave your system
in an unstable condition.
Remember that if you want to save the patch kit
tar file, remove it from the temporary directory before deleting the
directory.
Adding the Worldwide Language Support |
 |
Inclusive patch kits provide
patches to the Tru64 UNIX Worldwide Language Support subset (WLS).
If the WLS subset is installed on your system, the WLS patches will
be installed automatically when you install the patch kit. However,
if you install the WLS subset after patching your system, you will
have to rerun dupatch to install the WLS patches.
The dupatch utility will see the WLS subset, recognize
that the patches have not been installed, and will install them.
