Description:
v20 was installed on our server in early November (after 20.1 was released).

We have run Upgrade Express and need to see the Implementation Notes for rep_change's 1-2261, but when we do util sp:

SP. Service Pack Management
----------------------------
0. Exit Procedure
1. Prepare/Update Environment
2. Download latest SP
3. Check SP download completing
4. Install SP
5. Run SP Utility (view implementation notes)

and enter #5, we get:

Service pack not yet installed

The ver command shows:

aleph> ver
SUN_OS_2, abc, Aleph 20.1.0 (2261) copy 1, 13-Feb-2009
<etc.>

If we choose #4 (Install SP), we get:

installation utility detected
Service Pack 2261.
Binary SP file found for SunOS-new
Options fast = N initial = N
Error: Your Service Pack level is 2261. sp.utility not found. Exiting.

We see that there's a Download Center -> Service Packs -> 20.0 -> Aleph-20-Minor-Release-1.xls document on the Doc Portal, but that only talks about the two Mandatory rep_change's.

How are we supposed to see the Implementation Notes for rep_change's 1-2261?

Resolution:
Minor Release 20.1 includes all of the rep_change's up to the point of its release (1-171 and 2000-2261), but since it is not a Service Pack, the util sp -- view implementation notes does not work.

The Download Center -> Service Packs -> 20.0 -> Aleph-20-Minor-Release-1.xls spreadsheet has multiple worksheets. The sheet which displays initially is the Introduction -- with only the two Mandatory changes --, but there are tabs at the bottom for four additional sheets:

Enhancement Highlights
Rep_change 2000-2261 (Minor)
Rep_change 1-2261
Minor Release Guidelines
