Make Software Update(s) Official

OVERVIEW
This procedure takes the software update(s) previously loaded into the /etc/bwm from
either SCANS or tape, and verifies the files, then applies the software update in
"temporary" mode. Next the update enters into a soak period during which time any
problems with the update may be discovered. This soak period may last a day or more.
Following the soak period, the overwrite is made official and the files are removed
from /etc/bwm.
With this procedure, a desired point of installation may be entered. Maintenance
personnel can:
1. Step through each stage of an SU Installation one step at a time, or
2. Install an SU through any stage of the installation (including make-official) with
just one poke. The SU Installation will stop if an error occurs or if the stop
installation poke is entered.
