Mark - thanks You didn't mention it but I presume SLESxx-Patches are patches since GA?
Is there a doc or white paper with usage examples? Lionel B.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle From: Mark Post <[email protected]> To: [email protected].

Extras are for non-supported software that might be useful. Pool is all the packages for a particular GA release or service pack. Online is all the packages necessary to perform an online update from SPx-1 to SPx. Updates are post-GA or post-SP updates. > Also the doc mentions commands which don't exist in the z flavor of SMT > such as smt-repositories - in fact I can't find any of the smt-xxxx > commands. They're in the smt-1.1.16-0.1.1.s390x.rpm package, which should have been installed as part of the add-on product installation process: rpm -qlp smt-1.1.16-0.1.1.s390x.rpm | grep bin/smt- /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-daily /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-db /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-gen-report /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-jobqueue-cleanup /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-repeated-register /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-run-jobqueue-cleanup /usr/sbin/smt-catalogs /usr/sbin/smt-client /usr/sbin/smt-delete-registration /usr/sbin/smt-job /usr/sbin/smt-list-products /usr/sbin/smt-list-registrations /usr/sbin/smt-mirror /usr/sbin/smt-mirror-sle9 /usr/sbin/smt-ncc-sync /usr/sbin/smt-register /usr/sbin/smt-report /usr/sbin/smt-repos /usr/sbin/smt-setup-custom-catalogs /usr/sbin/smt-setup-custom-repos /usr/sbin/smt-staging Just a guess, it appears that smt-repositories should actually be smt-repos.
