Hi

Let's imagine these 2 depots are in /tmp
#cd /tmp
#mkdir /tmp/depot

#for i in *.depot
do
swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ /tmp/depot
done

will create a depot file in /tmp/depot
#swinstall -s /tmp/depot
will install both the aaa and bbb depot files.

hi,

I you want to create a third depot, you can swcopy in a new one in two pass. Just remember during swcopy to mark all software and remove some options like :

- autoselect dependencies
- enforce dependencies analysis

This option should only be used in swinstall phase.

Regards.

* Load swcopy on the server you wish to copy to. Upon loading it will ask for the destination path of where you want software copied to, so select it.
* Then it will ask for the source details, so enter the source host and the path of where the files are (if the source is the same as the destination then enter it in, that's fine).
* Now you will be presented with the list of software on the source, so go through the list and highlight the ones you want to copy (use spacebar to select).
* Go to the menu: Actions -> Mark for copy
* Again: Actions -> Copy (analysis) ...
* If the analysis is ok go ahead and do it.
