    Hi All,

    We are using  SUMA for downloading filesets as a part of our patching cycle, this was working well till recent, but suddenly we have started  facing issue while download as below

     

    suma -x -w -a Action=Preview -a DLTarget=/opt/Suma_Repo -a FilterDir=/opt/Suma_Repo -a RqType=SP -a RqName=7100-00-03-1115 -a FilterML=7100-00

    Download FAILED: /opt/Suma_Repo/installp/ppc/null

    …

    adding a FilterML higher than the current level and download to an empty directory

    Thanks Joseph,
    I tried the same but still stuck with same issue

    Also The input format that suma need is varying 
    For e.g 
    On a AIX machine with OS level as "7100-00-01-1037"

    I tried ...
    suma -x -w -a Action=Download -a DLTarget=/tmp/Tushar -a FilterDir=/tmp/Tushar -a RqType=SP -a RqName=6100-02-01 -a FilterML=6100-00
    Service Pack must be in the form xxxx-xx-xx-xxxx. For example: 6100-04-03-1009.
    Which necessarily mean it needs format with build date.

    But the same works on different machine
    On a AIX machine with OS level as "7100-01-01-1141"
    suma -x -w -a Action=Download -a DLTarget=/tmp/Tushar -a FilterDir=/tmp/Tushar -a RqType=SP -a RqName=6100-02-01 -a FilterML=6100-00
    Task ID 61 created.
    Download SUCCEEDED: /tmp/Tushar/installp/ppc/U822368.bff
    Download SUCCEEDED: /tmp/Tushar/installp/ppc/U822366.bff

    And this is happening frequently.
