DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following incidents:

Patch ID: 7.4.0.200

* 3960118 (Tracking ID: 3960116)

SYMPTOM:
Installer reports incorrect licensing status as "Unlicensed" for InfoScale 7.4 even when the systems are properly licensed and also fails to download the available Maintenance or Patch releases.

DESCRIPTION:
For InfoScale version 7.4,  when you use the installer command with the -version option or the showversion script in the /opt/VRTS/install directory, the installer reports incorrect licensing status as "Unlicensed" even when the systems are properly licensed. 
This is due to incorrect release version string set in the installer. Later, installer is unable the get the path of the repository where the Maintenance or Patch releases should be downloaded.

RESOLUTION:
The installer is enhanced to fetch the correct licensing status by setting correct release version string. It is also enhanced to either use /opt/VRTS/repository as the default repository or to accept a different location to download the suggested releases.

* 3969318 (Tracking ID: 3969113)

SYMPTOM:
The 'pkg list <pkg name>' command to check the uucp and bourne package fail for solaris 11.4 and later versions

DESCRIPTION:
In Solaris 11.4 or later, the /usr/sunos/bin/sh file is part of the bourne package and the /var/spool/locks directory is part of the uucp package. For the prior Solaris releases, this file and directory were included in the core-os package. As these files are no longer available in the core-os package, the 'pkg list <pkg name>' command to check the uucp and bourne package fail for solaris 11.4 and later versions.

RESOLUTION:
The installer is enhanced to use the 'pkg search -l <file or directory>' command to identify if the file or directory is available in the installed packages. If it is not available, the installer prompts the user to install the required packages(uucp/bourne). For the versions prior to Solaris 11.4, the core-os package is available and the installer continues without failing.
