Problems downloading patches

Hello all,

I have installed patch 119788-07 on my UC proxy server and patch 121118-10 on a couple of Sol 10 clients. I have also set the URLs as described in other forum threads to:

UCProxy # patchsvr setup -l

Patch source URL: https://getupdates1.sun.com/

UCClient # smpatch get patchpro.patch.source

patchpro.patch.sourcehttp://UCProxy:3816/

However I am still unable to recover the patches. I get the message:

UCClient # smpatch download

Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve current.zip: Service Unavailable

The old Sol 8 & 9 clients appear to be working correctly.

Any suggestions as to what I can try next?

I'd check the following (in order) -

* Can the UC proxy connect ok ("smpatch analyze")?

* Are there any small or zero byte files in the patchsvr cache (/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr by default) and if so delete them.

* Review the patchsvr logs in /var/patchsvr/logs. Specifically the catalina_log.<date>.txt and localhost_access.<date>.txt logs

Thanks for the reply,

smpatch analyze shows the expected list of outstanding patches but smpatch download shows "This patch could not be found" for every patch.

/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr contains directories and some files like

.%2Fall_signed%2F118677-03.jar

and others.

The logs do not show any specific errors that I can see.

How can I clear all cache on the UC Proxy so that it will start from scratch again?

Hi.You can clear the patch server's cache with:# rm /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/*# rm /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/.*Mod.
