Try to restart swagent daemon by,

# swagentd -r
or
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

stop and start the swagent
/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

and then try swlist. If still doesn't work check if you have /var/adm/sw or not and directories like products, patch and software

can you check as,

# swlist @

Restart swagentd from /sbin/init.d/ locaiton.

May be a problem with target selection.

Hi,
if the above don't help also have a look at the /var/adm/sw/defaults file and check files in /.sw/

Hi Manuales ,

=====================================
Try the following:
0. Close all swinstall windows or sam.

1. Check status of swagentd
# ps -ef | grep swagent

2. Stop swagentd
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -k

3. Restart swagentd
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

4. Check with installing the Ignite-UX depot.

Hope this will help,

Cheers,
Raj.
