    Hello all,

    I'm seeing several unreadable records in the output of lpp such as:

    Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
    124e459c87c8ea64826fef54ed255534 0.0.0.0 COMMITTED ISMP installed entry
    39e23039c452e89431d0fa821ab41587 8.0.2.0 COMMITTED ISMP installed entry
    Is there a way to find out what is the real product name behind such a record?

    Thank you!

    I've seen something like that in the past and usually these are entries put in ODM by some software installed different from the AIX installp.
    ISMP should be the short way for "InstallShield MultiPlatform" and as far as I know it is used by Webshpere products.
    Notice that all the informations about the products/packages installed on the system are stored in the ODM classes "lpp" and "product" under /usr/lib/objrepos.
    Running odmget for the above mentioned classes and grep'ing for the long hex strings you might get some more informations.
