IBM BigFix Patch is pleased to announce that the AIX download plug-in was
updated to enhance the process of downloading and caching patches from the
AIX website.
The updated download plug-in (version 4.0) replaces the fixget tool with
the Electronic Customer Care (ECC) services to retrieve AIX updates. ECC
provides a centralized access point to access code updates for IBM
systems. This updated download plug-in ensures that all required filesets
are downloaded.
Filesets are downloaded and cached directly in the BigFix server, allowing
them to be reused for later deployment. This approach, together with the
multi-threaded feature, tremendously helps you save time from having to
download the same set of filesets every time you run a Fixlet.
The Fixlets for AIX versions 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 were updated to use the
updated download plug-in.
Published Site Versions:
* Patching Support, version 470
* Patches for AIX, version 456
Actions to take:
1. Gather the latest sites.
2. Register or update to the latest version of the AIX download plug-in:
* If you have not registered the AIX download plug-in, register it from
the Manage Download Plug-ins dashboard.
* If you have already registered the AIX download plug-in, update to
the latest AIX download plug-in version 4.0.
