Does anyone know if sunsolve is having a bad week (well, a worse week
than usual). PCA has been getting 500 responses back from it for the
patchdiag.xref file for a few days now (since the 12th I think). I'm
using the development PCA, with a contract-associated login.

IIRC pca is unable to get the patchdiag.xref file because the HEAD of
Marketing decided to put a License Accept Windows in front of it. Don't
nail me down on this but google the archives of cus for more
information.

I'm using the same, and haven't had any problems recently (and your's is
the first report I received, too). Unfortunately I can't help much with
those 500 errors, besides recommending to report it to Sun via the
feedback form on sunsolve.sun.com.

One day I'd really like confirmation about whether sunsolve.sun.com is
actually a load balancer, and these kind of problems (seen by some, not
seen by others) are caused by only one of the backend machines being
broken. Over the years I found that to be the only reasonable explanation.

I fixed that in the latest release (v5.7) of pca, and quite a lot of
people confirmed that the fix works.

Seems like Sun has finally released the patches from S10 U4. I now have
~100 new patches to download for a recently patched S10U3 machine and
~200 new patches for a vanilla S10U3 machine.

Well, in a moment of desperation I tried using another account (the
one my tiny contracting company use, which has a single associated
Solaris subscription) and this worked. So, well, I don't know what
that shows. May be if I try the other contract (much, much bigger
than that) it will work now too. The ways of sunsolve are indeed
mysterious and opaque to mortals.
