Brilliant,
I've just started looking at PCA and it looks so good.
I missed that part of the documentation about the explorer dumps.
I just tested and it works just fine.
Thanks,
Roland Soderstrom

Subject: [pca] Use of explorer outputs
X-BeenThere: [email protected]
We have a setup that weekly distributes the ordinary Sun explorer dumps
to the "pca server".
Is it possible to use the explorer dump files to get pkginfo, showrev
and uname for pca for all the hosts?
Everything is there but under different filenames and path.
pkginfo -x is not there but pkginfo -l is.
It is only our pca server that has internetaccess.
Hi Roland
This is described in the man page, I'm using version 20080519-01.
-f, --fromfiles=DIR
Read uname/showrev/pkginfo output from files in the
specified directory, where DIR can also be a file name
prefix. See CREATING PATCH REPORTS FOR REMOTE MACHINES
for details.

If Sun Explorer is used to collect information about Sun
systems, a directory containing Sun Explorer output can be
used as the argument to -f as well.
