Hi Suresh,

swinstall (and other SD-UX controller cmds) hang due to invalid libobam library.correct library (using SD-UX commandline to install). Look for latest libobam
using patch tool search on 11.11.

Hi, can you post which options you used for patch installation? and from where you get this swpackage_create_targets_acl=false option, why you want to use it?

Normally, you can install patches with "swinstall -x patch_match_target=true -x autoboot=true -s "

You can use -p option to preview you patch:

swinstall -p -x patch_match_target=true -s

This is not a patch - this is Sudo package and use command:

swinstall -s /tmp/ixSudo_A.07.00-1.6.8p12_HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.depot ixSudo

You can drop patch_match_target option but you may receive the WARNING error because the patch is either already installed or it is not for your OS.

Read the logs after you run swinstall -p -s /tmp/ixSudo_A.07.00-1.6.8p12_HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.depot If there is no error, then continue to install it.

Your swremove.log does not contain any errors. What did see in fields "Target:" and "Target Displaying Software:" in you swremove UI?

Can you run "swlist -l product" and check if the software you are looking for is there or not?

Hi,

the message may be the result of different SD-versions of the depot and the host swinstall is running on:
Running a swinstall on a HPUX-10.20 against an 11i depot server is an example.
