Checking interim fixes

The emgr command checks the status of installed interim fixes.

The syntax for interim fix checking is as follows:
emgr -c [-L Label | -n interim fixNumber | -u VUID | -f ListFile] [-w Directory] [-a path] \
[-v{1|2|3}] [-X]

By default the emgr command verifies all installed interim fixes. You can specify an individual interim fix by using one of the interim fix identification methods or specify several individual interim fixes by using a list file. For information about the interim fix identification methods, refer to Referencing interim fixes.

The default level of verification is 1. You can specify up to level 3 with the -v flag. The verification levels include the following checks:
LEVEL 1
Checks the following information:
  • Interim fix data and state
  • If this is a mount installation operation, then check the interim fix mount status for all files
    Note: If the interim fix file is unmounted, the emgr command changes the interim fix state to UNMOUNTED
  • Interim fix checksum for all interim fix files or archive members
LEVEL 2
Checks the following information:
  • All LEVEL 1 checks
  • Interim fix ownership and mode for all interim fix files or archive members
LEVEL 3
Checks the following information:
  • All LEVEL 2 checks
  • All prerequisites
  • All interim fix to interim fix prerequisites, including the following:
    • All interim fix prerequisites for the interim fix package being checked are installed.
    • All interim fix xrequisites for the interim fix package being checked are not installed.
    • There are no installed interim fixes that list the interim fix being checked as an xrequisite.
