If /var/tmp is mounted with noexec option then the sort data collector creates an alomost empty veritas explorer file.

If /var/tmp is mounted with noexec option then installrp fails to fully install a rolling patch but reports the status as succeeded.

The work-around is:

./sortdc -vxexplorer -tmppath=/root/sortdc-tmp

./installrp -tmppath=/root/installrp-tmp

What we would like to seen in a future versions:

1. This option/usage is should be listed in the output of "./sortdc -h" or the README file.
2. We would like to see an error if someone runs sortdc without this option with a noexec mounted /var/tmp. At best it would prompt for an alternative tmppath.

Please test all SFHA products with /tmp and /var/tmp mounted with noexec option during QA.
