NAME
       - Report software and security issues, and resolutions.

SYNOPSIS
       analyzer] stdout_report_type] inventory_source]

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  inventories  and  analyzes a host system or some types of
       depots against a catalog of HP software and known issues (security  and
       other  defects).	  HP-UX	 Software Assistant (SWA) then generates three
       results:

       ·  a comprehensive HTML report saved in a file
       ·  a text report printed to  stdout  (report  types  include  "action",
	  "issue", or "detail")
       ·  an analysis results file that the command uses

       Each  of	 these	results indicates the issues found and/or new software
       and fixes that Hewlett Packard recommends.

       NOTE: The format of these results is subject to change in a  subsequent
       release of SWA.

       The  analysis that performs relies on the integrity of the inventory to
       determine the appropriate patches to install  on	 the  system.	It  is
       important  that	all  protocols used to transmit the inventory data are
       integrity protected and that the host used to  generate	the  inventory
       data  is	 accurately represented.  For example, use of for gathering an
       inventory of a remote system uses a clear-text, unauthenticated	proto‐
       col  that  does	not  protect  the integrity of the data.  Using Secure
       Shell to gather an inventory of a remote system uses an integrity  pro‐
       tected  (and  encrypted)	 protocol.   Even when using Secure Shell, the
       analysis still relies on the source of the data (the  remote  host)  to
       accurately  represent  the  software contents installed on that system.
       recognizes the following options:

	      Specifies an analyzer to use.  Each analyzer represents  a  dif‐
	      ferent type of
		     analysis  that  can  perform.   You  may specify multiple
		     options.  The supported analyzers follow:

		      - patches that fix critical problems

		     - patches with critical warnings

		     - patches with warnings (a superset of PCW)

		     - latest quality pack

		     - security bulletins that may apply

		       - include patch or recommended successor

		       - include specific patch.  (Note: use of CHAIN is  gen‐
		     erally preferred.)

		     If	 this  option  is not specified, the "QPK", "SEC", and
		     "PCW" analyzers are used.

	      Specifies the type of report to display to stdout.  Legal values
	      are:

		     - (Default) Summary of recommended actions

		     - Summary of identified issues

		     - Recommended actions with issue justification

		     - Comprehensive report in html format

		     - No report is generated on stdout

						 Specify  one  system or depot
						 to  be	 inventoried,  or   an
						 existing local inventory file
						 to be
			    analyzed and reported on.  If this option  is  not
			    specified,	the  local system is inventoried, ana‐
			    lyzed and  reported	 on.   Supports	 Secure	 Shell
			    (recommended  for  remote  connections) and swlist
			    (legacy) protocols for gathering inventory	infor‐
			    mation.  See the extended option for more details.

		     The verbosity level is decreased by one for each instance
			    is specified.  (See also the option.)

		     The verbosity level is increased by one for each instance
			    is specified.  (See also the option.)

		     Displays general usage.

		     Describes	the legal values for this option.  If <option>
		     is
			    all possible extended options are listed  for  the
			    specified  major  mode.   If no mode is given, all
			    extended options are listed.

		     Sets the  extended	 option	 to  a	value.	 See  Extended
		     Options definitions below.

		     Describe the legal values for this option.

		     Gets the extended options from
			    option_file.   (See the file for a description and
			    examples of syntax for this file).

	      The extended options may be specified in different ways: on  the
	      command line using the option, in an option file specified using
	      the option, or in one of the configuration files	(system	 wide)
	      or (user-specific).  The file provides example syntax for a con‐
	      figuration or file.  If the same option  is  given  in  multiple
	      locations,  the  following  order is prioritized from highest to
	      lowest:

		     1.	    Options specified on the command line

		     2.	    Options specified within an option file

		     3.	    Proxy environment variables (See Environment Vari‐
			    able section.)

		     4.	    Options specified within the $HOME/.swa.conf file

		     5.	    Options specified within the /etc/opt/swa/swa.conf
			    file

		     6.	    Default value, specified in	 the  descriptions  of
			    each option below in format

	      Note:  If	 the  same option or extended option is given multiple
	      times in the same location,  the	last  takes  effect.   If  the
	      option  has a single letter equivalent (e.g., and ) and both are
	      used on the command line, the  single  letter  option  generally
	      takes  precedence.   If  the  single  letter  option  affects an
	      extended option that takes a list of arguments,  specifying  the
	      single letter option multiple times will append to the list.

	      recognizes  the  following  (extended)  options, which are shown
	      with their default values:

	      Usage: Basic
		     The file containing the raw analysis results, including a
		     list  of software that should be downloaded from Hewlett-
		     Packard in order to address the issues found by the anal‐
		     ysis.   Use  this	option to save the results from a spe‐
		     cific analysis, and later reuse those results in order to
		     download  the  corresponding software from HP.  If you do
		     not use the default location when the  analysis  file  is
		     created  (e.g.,  creates  this  file), be sure to specify
		     that location when the analysis file is later used (e.g.,
		     uses this file).

		     Possible values include any absolute or relative pathname
		     with appropriate permissions.

		     The use of ${user_dir} at the beginning  of  this	option
		     value  is substituted with the value of the option (which
		     defaults to $HOME.swa).

	      Usage: Basic
		     Specifies a space-separated  list	(appropriately	quoted
		     for  your	shell  if applicable) of analyzers to be used.
		     Each analyzer represents a	 different  type  of  analysis
		     that  SWA can perform.  The supported analyzers follow in
		     two lists (generic and specific).

		     Generic analyzers:

		     - patches that fix critical problems

		     - patches with critical warnings

		     - patches with warnings (a superset of PCW)

		     - latest quality pack

		     - security bulletins that may apply

		     Specific analyzers:

		     - Include patch or recommended successor.

		     - Include specific patch.	Using CHAIN is generally  pre‐
		     ferred.

		     - Include specific issue.

	      Note:   This  option is equivalent to -a but is suitable for use
	      within an extended options file (-X) or configuration file.

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     Specifies the age, in hours, of the  locally-cached  copy
		     of the HP software catalog before a new local copy should
		     be obtained.  If the local file becomes too old (based on
		     the timestamp in the file), SWA tries to obtain a copy of
		     the catalog from the 'catalog_source'  location.	It  is
		     possible  that  the  remote  catalog  is also too old (as
		     determined by the timestamp in the file), for example  if
		      'catalog_max_age=2'  and	'catalog_source'  specifies  a
		     location that gets updated daily from HP's	 website.   In
		     this  case,  the  downloaded catalog is used, but will be
		     updated every time SWA checks the catalog's age.

		     Note: There are two special values, 0 and -1.  The	 value
		     of	 0  signifies to always update the file, and the value
		     of -1 signifies to never update the file,	regardless  of
		     age.

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     The  file containing a locally-cached copy of the catalog
		     of available HP  software	and  published	security  bul‐
		     letins.

		     Possible values include any absolute or relative pathname
		     with appropriate permissions.

		     The use of ${user_dir} at the beginning  of  this	option
		     value  is substituted with the value of the option (which
		     defaults to $HOME.swa).

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     A space-separated list of URLs (appropriately quoted  for
		     your  shell if applicable) that controls the location and
		     service to obtain the SWA catalog.	 The catalog  must  be
		     internal to your data center; you may not use this option
		     to access the official HP site. The  catalog  contains  a
		     list  of  all potential issues, relevant software product
		     updates and patches that address many issues, along  with
		     descriptions  of manual actions that address some issues.
		     HP frequently updates the official catalog as new	issues
		     become known and as new actions are recommended.

		     The following format is used to specify URLs:

		     <service>:[user:password@]<hostname.domainname>:<port>
		     Where '<service>' is one of  the  following  methods  for
		     obtaining the remote catalog:

		     - Secure\/authenticated HTTP

		     - Unauthenticated HTTP

		     - Unauthenticated FTP

	      Usage: Advanced
		     When  set to true, swa will require the certificate revo‐
		     cation list (CRL) to  be  updated	and  checked  for  the
		     trusted certificate authority (CA) certificate being used
		     to validate the remote server.

		     In the unlikely event that the private certificate of the
		     server  pointed  to  by  the option is suspected of being
		     compromised, its certificate will be revoked,  and	 added
		     to a list of revoked certificates by the CA.

		     The CRL must be signed by the same certificate chain that
		     signed the host certificate being checked.	 Checking  the
		     CRL  requires  regular  downloads	from the CA, which can
		     lengthen the swa run time.	 If you do not wish  to	 vali‐
		     date a revocation list, set this to false.

	      Usage: Advanced
		     The  download_cmd extended option can be used to override
		     the default swa download commands, and therefore the pro‐
		     tocols  swa uses to download the catalog and patch files.
		     The command is enclosed in single quotes ('). This option
		     is	 useful in cases where a system does not have a direct
		     connection to the Internet, but  can  execute  a  command
		     that  can	download a URL from the Internet (for example,
		     by using a gateway machine).

		     Using this option overrides many options which  are  used
		     by	 the  internal	swa  download functionality, including
		     proxy and CRL configuration.

		     This command should take one option that is  supplied  by
		     swa  (the	URL  of	 a file to download), and outputs that
		     file to its stdout.  If the actual command in your	 envi‐
		     ronment behaves differently, it can be wrapped by a shell
		     script in order to provide the interface that swa needs.

		     Note:  Programs like wget, curl, and Perl's  GET  can  be
		     used  to  pass  the contents of a URL to standard output.
		     These commands may provide support for different types of
		     proxies  or  can  be used with ssh to work with a gateway
		     server. The GET command provides basic functionality. The
		     wget and curl commands provide extended functionality and
		     are  provided  with  HP-UX	 11i  Internet	Express	  (see
		     http:www.hp.comgointernetexpress).	 All  three  of	 these
		     commands are available for operating systems  other  than
		     HP-UX,  such  as  Linux  and  Windows.  For example, some
		     external  commands	  can	authenticate   using   Windows
		     NT.-based	domain	passwords  to  a Microsoft. web proxy,
		     which is not directly supported by swa.

		     The following command is an example:

		     -x download_cmd='usrlocalbinmyScript.sh'

		     The URL passed to	download_cmd  may  contain  characters
		     with  special  meanings to shells or other command inter‐
		     preters. By using a custom	 script	 as  shown  above  any
		     requirement for nested quotes can be handled.

		     The download command also allows URL target substitution.
		     The actual URL used will be substituted in place  of  the
		     URL target string of the download command. The URL target
		     string default is %url. The above example	download  com‐
		     mand  does not use the URL target string, SWA appends the
		     URL destination to the end of the command, which  becomes
		     the script argument. The URL target string can be custom‐
		     ized, see the option.

		     The following command is an example:

		     -x download_cmd='usrbincurl %url'

		     The URL passed to download_cmd may be defined in the cat‐
		     alog_source  option.   Otherwise  the default URL will be
		     used.

	      Usage: Advanced
		     Proxy host and port (with optional http basic authentica‐
		     tion username and password) for accessing content via the
		     FTP protocol.   No	 proxy	information  is	 specified  by
		     default.

		     The following format is used:

		     <service>:[user:password@]<proxy-server>:<port>

		     For example: ftp_proxy=http:web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088

		     The  use of ${proxy} for this option value is substituted
		     with the value  of	 the  option  (which  is  not  set  by
		     default).

	      Usage: Basic
		     Use  this option to specify the HP user ID to gain access
		     to the HPSC patch database. If SWA determines that the HP
		     user  ID  is  not	set in a config file or on the command
		     line, the user will be prompted for it.  Prompting for HP
		     user ID can be turned off using '-x prompt=false'.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Use  this option in conjunction with hp_id to specify the
		     HP password to gain access to the HPSC patch database. If
		     SWA  determines that the HP password is not set in a con‐
		     fig file or  on  the  command  line,  the	user  will  be
		     prompted  for it. Prompting for HP password can be turned
		     off using	'-x prompt=false'.

	      Usage: Basic
		     The file containing the  HTML-formatted  report  that  is
		     generated	by  the	 command.   This is a single file with
		     internal hyperlinks.  The html report may be  printed  to
		     stdout using the option.

		     The  use  of  ${user_dir} at the beginning of this option
		     value is substituted with the value of the option	(which
		     defaults to $HOME.swa).

	      Usage: Advanced
		     Proxy host and port (with optional http basic authentica‐
		     tion username and password) for accessing content via the
		     HTTPS  protocol.	No  proxy  information is specified by
		     default.

		     The following format is used:

		     <service>:[user:password@]<proxy-server>:<port>

		     For	    example:		 https_proxy=http:web-
		     proxy.mycompany.com:8088

		     If	 usernamepassword are specified as authentication cre‐
		     dentials to your proxy server, http basic	authentication
		     is	 used,	which  is  a  clear-text protocol, (i.e., your
		     password may be  visible  to  others  on  your  network).
		     Also, credentials specified on the command-line are visi‐
		     ble to other  local  users,  and  access  to  credentials
		     stored  in	 extended option files are determined by their
		     permissions.  If your proxy server requires another  type
		     of authentication, see the option.

		     The  use of ${proxy} for this option value is substituted
		     with the value  of	 the  option  (which  is  not  set  by
		     default).

	      Usage: Advanced
		     Proxy host and port (with optional http basic authentica‐
		     tion username and password) for accessing content via the
		     HTTP  protocol.   No  proxy  information  is specified by
		     default.

		     The following format is used:

		     <service>:[user:password@]<proxy-server>:<port>

		     For example: http_proxy=http:web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088

		     The HTTP protocol is the default protocol used  to	 down‐
		     load certificate revocation lists.

		     The  use of ${proxy} for this option value is substituted
		     with the value  of	 the  option  (which  is  not  set  by
		     default).

	      Usage: Basic
		     Files  containing	regular	 expressions, indicating which
		     issues to ignore.	Each issue is  matched	by  a  regular
		     expression	 (see regexp(5)), and is ignored by the analy‐
		     sis.  That is, whether or not the	host  or  depot	 being
		     analyzed  have  the identified issue, that issue will not
		     appear on the report.  In addition, software will not  be
		     selected for download to address the issue.  The software
		     may still be selected to address a different issue.

		     When a user first runs swa, if this file does not	exist,
		     a	template  file is created, which contains instructions
		     on	 how  to  use  this  file.   Upon   creation,	if   a
		     ~.spc_ignore  file	 exists, it is translated into the swa
		     format and appended to the template.

		     The use of ${user_dir} at the beginning  of  this	option
		     value  is substituted with the value of the option (which
		     defaults to $HOME.swa).

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     Specifies the age, in hours, of the cached	 copy  of  the
		     inventory	contents  of a given system.  If the inventory
		     becomes too old (based on the  timestamp  stored  in  the
		     file), SWA will inventory the host systemdepot again.

		     Note:  There are two special values, 0 and -1.  The value
		     of 0 signifies to always update the file, and  the	 value
		     of	 -1  signifies to never update the file, regardless of
		     age.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Note: This release supports only one system, depot	 (lim‐
		     ited  use cases) or inventory file for analysis per invo‐
		     cation of SWA.  This option is  useful  for  analyzing  a
		     remote system without installing swa on that system.

		     Specify one host system or depot to be inventoried, or an
		     existing inventory file to be analyzed, and reported on.

		     Specify source as a URL using one of the  following  for‐
		     mats:

		     - System specification, uses
			    unauthenticated swlist protocol to gather the host
			    inventory.

		     - Depot
			    specification, also uses swlist protocol  (limited
			    use cases).

		     -	    SSH	 specification to system or depot, uses SSH to
			    contact host and local swlist  of  the  system  or
			    depot.

		     -	    Inventory  file  specification,  must  be  a local
			    file.

			    If an argument is specified in such a way that  it
			    could  be interpreted as either a system name or a
			    file name, it will be assumed to be a system name.
			    For example if 'foo' is the argument, then it will
			    be interpreted as a system named  'foo'.  Alterna‐
			    tively  if '.foo' is the argument, then it will be
			    interpreted	 as  an	 inventory  file  named	 'foo'
			    residing in the current directory.

			    If	an  inventory  file name is not specified, the
			    inventory information is cached for	 later	access
			    in	a cache directory within the 'user_dir'.  Nam‐
			    ing of these cached inventory files	 is  based  on
			    the hostname and path-to-depot as specified (e.g.,
			    using the fully qualified domain name  of  a  host
			    will be cached separately from using the nodename,
			    even for the same machine). Refresh of the	cached
			    inventory  for each inventory_source is determined
			    by the option.

			    The following option specifications are examples:

			    System specification:

			    Depot specification:

			    Inventory file specification:

			    Note:  This option is  equivalent  to  -s  but  is
			    suitable  for  use within an extended options file
			    (-X) or configuration file.

	      Usage: Basic
		     This is the path to the log file for this command.	  Each
		     time SWA is run, this file will grow larger.  This can be
		     changed, for example, to a	 month-specific	 location  for
		     easier archiving, off-host backup, and rotation.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Specifies	the level of message verbosity in the log file
		     (See also -x verbosity).  Legal values are:

		     Only ERROR messages and the  startingending  BANNER  mes‐
		     sages.

		     Adds WARNING messages.

		     Adds NOTE messages.

		     Adds  INFO	 messages  (informational messages preceded by
		     the '*' character).

		     Adds verbose INFO messages.

		     Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Use this option to turn off prompting for HP user ID  and
		     password  if  SWA	determines the values are not set. See
		     the and '-x hp_pw' options.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Proxy host and port (with optional http basic authentica‐
		     tion username and password) for accessing content via the
		     relevant protocol.	 No proxy information is specified  by
		     default.

		     The following format is used:

		     <service>:[user:password@]<proxy-server>:<port>

		     For example: proxy=http:web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088

		     If	 usernamepassword are specified as authentication cre‐
		     dentials to your proxy server, http basic	authentication
		     is	 used,	which  is  a  clear-text protocol, (i.e., your
		     password may be  visible  to  others  on  your  network).
		     Also, credentials specified on the command-line are visi‐
		     ble to other  local  users,  and  access  to  credentials
		     stored  in	 extended option files are determined by their
		     permissions.  If your proxy server requires another  type
		     of	 authentication,  see the option.  This option is used
		     as the default for the other proxy settings.

		     This option controls the default for all  three  proxies.
		     See  the  option,	the  option,  and  the option for more
		     details.

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     Controls whether swa will produce a report to stdout when
		     there  are	 no issues andor actions.  This is useful, for
		     example, in a cron job where you want email sent  to  you
		     only if there is an issue found.

		     A stdout report is always produced.

		     A	stdout	report	is  only  produced if there are issues
		     andor actions.

			    Hint: To check for error status use the exit  code
			    of the command and check the logfile for details.

	      Usage: Intermediate
		     Options  to  be  passed  to ssh.  Multiple options may be
		     included as a space-delimited list.  For example, if  you
		     are  using	 SWA in a cronjob, you may wish to specify '-o
		     BatchMode=yes' to return immediately upon failure, rather
		     than prompting for a password.

		     See ssh_config(5) for additional options.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Type  of report to display on stdout.  This is useful for
		     controlling what type of output you would	like  to  see.
		     Legal values are:

		     - (Default) Summary of recommended actions

		     - Summary of identified issues

		     - Recommended actions with issue justification

		     - Comprehensive report in html format

		     - No report is generated on stdout

	      Usage: Advanced
		     This  option is used in conjunction with the download_cmd
		     option to override the default  url_target	 string(%url),
		     for  specific  environment	 needs.	 The url_target string
		     will be substituted in  the  download  command  with  the
		     actual URL for completing any downloads.

		     The following command is an example:

		     -x	 url_target='myUrlTargetString1' -x download_cmd='opt‐
		     perlbinGET myUrlTargetString1'

		     See the option.

	      Usage: Basic
		     The directory where swa stores catalog, inventory, analy‐
		     sis, ignore, and report files.  The default location is a
		     subdirectory (.swa) of the user's home  directory.	  This
		     can  be changed, for example, to allow archival of previ‐
		     ous interim artifacts in  a  date-specific	 directory  or
		     off-host.	 Several  other options default to a directory
		     relative to  this	directory,  so	changing  this	option
		     allows  all  of those locations to stay in synch relative
		     to a common root.

	      Usage: Basic
		     Specifies the level of stderr verboseness:

		     Only ERROR messages and the  startingending  BANNER  mes‐
		     sages.

		     Adds WARNING messages.

		     Adds NOTE messages.

		     Adds  INFO	 messages  (informational messages preceded by
		     the '*' character).

		     Adds verbose INFO messages.

		     Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

			    Note:  The '-v' option is equivalent to increasing
			    verbosity  by  1  (e.g., from 3 to 4) and the '-q'
			    option is equivalent to decreasing verbosity by 1.
			    The	 '-v'  and  '-q' options can be used more than
			    once.

	      For compatibility with other applications,  several  environment
	      variables	 can  be  used	to  configure  how SWA connects to the
	      Internet to retrieve catalogs, certificate revocation lists, and
	      software.	 These environment variables include and

	      These  environment  variables have the same effect as the corre‐
	      sponding extended options	 of  the  same	names.	 The  Extended
	      Options  section	describes the usage and meaning of each option
	      and the behavior if the same option  is  specified  in  multiple
	      places.

	      The  extended option cannot be specified as an environment vari‐
	      able, but may be a useful alternative if all protocols  use  the
	      same proxy server at your site.

	      The  environment	variable is also honored for local operations,
	      if set.  If this value is not set, the default of is used.  This
	      directory	 does  not  allow  write operations for non-privileged
	      users, so TMPDIR must be set by non-root users  if  a  temporary
	      directory	 is required for that operation.  An example operation
	      that uses this directory	is  unsharing  of  patch  files.   For
	      older-style  patches which do not honor TMPDIR, SWA rewrites the
	      shar file so that TMPDIR will be honored	before	unpacking  the
	      patch.

   Return Values
       returns the following values:

	      Success
	      Error
	      Warning

FILES
       The  per-user  Software	Assistant  configuration file. This file takes
       precedence over the system-wide SWA configuration file.

       An HP-supplied catalog file from the ITRC website that
	      contains known security issues  and  other  defects  along  with
	      their  solutions.	 This  file is downloaded with the command swa
	      report or swa step catalog.

       The analysis of the inventory file and the catalog file
	      created with swa report or swa step analyze.

       The inventory of installed software created by swa
	      inventory or swa step inventory.

       Use this file to specify issues for analyzers to ignore. It is
	      possible to use more than one ignore file by using the  extended
	      option ignore_file.

       The comprehensive report written by swa report and
	      swa step report.

       Default alternative log file if you don't have permissions
	      to write to /var/opt/swa/swa.log.

       The system-wide SWA configuration file.

       An example configuration file outlining the usage of each
	      extended option.

       Script to configure HP SIM 5.2 and later for SWA. Only
	      required	if  SWA	 is installed when HP SIM is installed but not
	      running. HP SIM must be running when configHPSIM is run.

       Manpages.

       The default directory for downloading software before it
	      is packaged in a depot. This  directory  can  be	set  with  the
	      extended	option swcache. Note that this directory can consume a
	      significant amount of disk space.

       Directory that holds all clients' files generated from SWA
	      within HP SIM. Files are kept in user and job-specific subdirec‐
	      tories.  This  directory might require significant space to sup‐
	      port clients' analysis, catalog, inventory, and report files.

       User-specific directory used by SWA when running under
	      HP SIM.

       Default log file.

       Lists all files downloaded from HP to the swcache. It is
	      located in the swcache directory.

       Lists special installation instructions and dependencies
	      for the patches in the depot. It is located in the depot	direc‐
	      tory.

       Lists  issue  IDs to be ignored (e.g., they are completed or not
       applicable).  Supports comments
	      and regular expressions.	See regexp(5).
