Find All Hotfixes

This command searches for hotfixes not presently installed on the current environment, but those which are applicable to it.

This command requires an Internet connection and may take an extended amount of time to complete. Therefore, it is recommended to display a non-modal progress dialog, possibly also setting the pre-defined variable $PROGRESSMODE$ to MARQUEE before invoking this command. This will enable your clients to cancel the search if necessary.

This command returns its results in a string variable. If multiple hotfixes are found, the hotfix names are delimited by the | character. If some of the returned hotfixes contain embedded spaces, those hotfix names will additionally be wrapped inside double quote " characters.

Variable

Enter the variable to hold the results of the search.

 Notes

• If no matching hotfixes are found, the variable entered in the Variable field will be an empty string.
• You may easily navigate the results returned by this command using the For Each...Next loop constructs.
• You may use the Is Hotfix Installed command to check whether a particular hotfix is installed on the target system. This command does not require an Internet connection.
