Is this the Preview Release version, or the final 1.0 version which was released on July 26?
Does typing the following command manually return successfully?
# smpatch getdocument collection/default
Do any smpatch commands work? e.g:
# smpath get
# smpatch list
I take it Update Manager was working OK before the Solaris upgrade? Might be worth trying a re-install of Update Manager. Not actually sure whether it works with Solaris 11 or not.

Is your update manager configured to get updates from an LPS?
I suspect you would get this error message if you use a pre-Software Update LPS (now called the Sun Update Connection Proxy) with Update Manager.
If this is your problem, you should upgrade the LPS to the Sun Update Connection Proxy.

probably java interface (updatemanager) uses smpatch at backend and may be some libraries it uses upgraded with system upgrade. the smpatch command works well and does not support list & getdocument commands.
