[pca] PCA not working since Oracle buy out.

[Don O'Malley]

Hi Juergen,

What version of wget have you on your system?
(# wget --version)

If you've got version 1.11.1 or higher can you execute the following 
wget command and send me the output in a mail and I'll follow up:
(Replace SOA_username & SOA_passwd with your Sun Online Account username 
& password)
# /usr/sfw/bin/wget --no-check-certificate --auth-no-challenge 
--http-user="SOA_Username" --http-passwd="SOA_Passwd" 
"https://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=145005-01&method=hs" -O 
145005-01.jar

Alternatively if the version of wget you are using is between 1.10.2 and 
1.11, could you
# /usr/sfw/bin/wget --no-check-certificate --http-user="SOA_Username" 
--http-passwd="SOA_Passwd" 
"https://sunsolve.sun.com/pdownload.do?target=145005-01&method=hs" -O 
145005-01.jar

Could you please include your SOA_Username in the mail too.

Could you also provide more detail about the issues you are having with 
the Patch Basket (I'm assuming were talking about the PatchFinder tool - 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/patchfinder/ - here...) too please?
It seems to work ok for me...

Best,
-Don
