Applying Operating System Patches

Before you install RAP, identify and apply operating system patches.

Refer to RAP – The Trading Edition Release Bulletin for information on operating system levels and required operating system patches.

  1. List currently installed patches:
    Operating System

    Command

    Sun Solaris

    showrev -p

    Linux

    uname -a

    IBM AIX

    oslevel -r

  2. Apply required patches. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor, even if it supersedes the patch listed in the Release Bulletin.
