Hi,
After installing Solaris10 6/06 i'm unable to register with update connection. I get the error below.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
# sconadm register -a -r /RegistrationProfile.properties
sconadm is running
Authenticating user ...

Please can you run the following commands:
$ java -version

$ showrev -p | egrep -e '121454|121119|120336|121082|121564|122232|119789'

Found a solution to this problem:
Use PCA (Patch Check Advanced) to patch your system, then the updatemanager application will successfully register.

Then again, why not just use PCA instead of Sun's tools. From my experience, PCA is much more reliable and it is a single perl script so it can also be customized.
