A question about swcopy

[Wang,MinJie]

Hi all
I have set up a depot on one system in which there are serveral products.
A friend of mine wants one of them.
So I use "swcopy -s /depot @ /tmp/C.depot" to copy it and now there is a problem:
The "C.depot" is a directory more than a file
So I have a question:
Can "swcopy" copy a product from a depot to exactly a file so I can transfer it?
Thx in advance

Shalom,

You can package your depot into a "tape" format.

swpackage -s /home/patch/nds_bundle.depot -d /home/patches/nds.july.2006.depot -x target_type=tape

Wang,

Unless I missunderstood you, swcopy is use to create a depot for further distribution or installation.
But in this instance you want to get a product out of the depot.
The easiest solution that comes to my mind is to look at the name of the product that you want to get out of the depot.

Look for it again in the itrc site and send your friend a link to it or download to your system and then ftp it to your friend.

Regards,

Jaime.

Wang,

Instead of pulling one product from your depot and putting it on different directory on same server doesn't do any difference. You can give your friend the full path of the product like this server:/depot/ so that he can run command like swinstall -s server:/depot/.

Thanks,
