Hi,

I think you may have forget a step after downloading the patch from the web.

After downloading the patch you are suppose to extract it, which will create 2 files:

sh PHSS_15853

This will give you a text file name PHSS_15853.txt (I'm not sure for the exact name of this one) and a second one name PHSS_15853.depot

when you run your swinstall session you run it using the .depot file:

swinstall -x /home/hpp/PHSS_15853.depot

If you want to everify that the depot is not corrupted you could look at the content with tar:

tar tvf PHSS_15853.depot

Hi ,

You have to download it once again. The patch you have downloaded is not proper.

Assuming that you have downloaded from ITRC, have you deleted the first line and saved the file ?

Best of luck,

Hi,

Looks like your patch file was corrupted while downloading. you should try the download once again. Then once you have downloaded the patch to your system , unshare it and then use the depot file to install the patch. The patch install instructions can be found in the other file (.txt file) that is generated when you unshar the patch,

Download patch PHSS_XXXXX

# sh PHSS_XXXXX
# swinstall ....options.. /path_to patch/PHSS_XXXXX.depot

If you are downloading the patch to your windows workstation and then ftp'ing it to your unix server, it might have got corrupted. Download the patch directly to you unix server from the itrc site using ftp. Use the binary mode of transfer when downloading the patch.

Hope this helps.
