Installs filesets associated with keywords or fixes.
instfix [ -T [ -M Platform ] ] [ -s String ] [ -S ] [ -k Keyword | -f File ] [ -p ] [ -d Device ] [ -i [ -c ] [ -q ] [ -t Type ] [ -v ] [ -F ] ] [ -a ]
The instfix command allows you to install a fix or set of fixes without knowing any information other than the Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR) number or other unique keywords that identify the fix.
Any fix can have a single fileset or multiple filesets that comprise that fix. Fix information is organized in the Table of Contents (TOC) on the installation media. After a fix is installed, fix information is kept on the system in a fix database.
The instfix command can also be used to determine if a fix is installed on your system.
Note: Return codes for the instfix command are documented in the /usr/include/inuerr.h file, which is shipped with the bos.adt.include fileset. There is also a general failure code of 1 and a single reference to EACCES (13) from /usr/include/errno.h.
Privilege Control: You must be the root user to install using the instfix command, but any user can run the instfix command to query the fix database.
