Need to know the contain of a product

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

I have a product called VALIDATION from my depot server. This product will be distributed across all servers. However, some servers are not supported by SD (Software Distribution), so I need to transfer manually the contain of the product using a simple script.

How can I know what files included into the product? How can I know if there is psf file was used?

The goal is I need to get the contain of the product, so I can create a simple script to transfer the files.

Please help High score will be given.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dewa

Hi Dewa,

Just run this command and you will get all the file list,

# swlist -l file -s

To get the list of Filesets,

# swlist -l fileset -s

Try as,

# swlist -l file @ /var/spool/sw/applications/HP/VALIDATION

to get file level informations.

Do you want to transfer the files in the product some other machine? Or swlist execution to some other machine. You can swcopy or rcp or scp or ftp the product directory to another machine. That is all.

To be more precise,

# swlist -l file @ /var/spool/sw/applications/HP/VALIDATION

# swlist -l fileset @ /var/spool/sw/applications/HP/VALIDATION

You can also use swcopy to unpack the contents and tar /untar it to your preferred servers.

Thanks a lot all.

Hi Muthu / Arun,

I got the problem because some boxes are not supported by SD as well as not running swagentd.

How can we rcp the product and untar it on those servers that are not supported by SD?

Hello,

You asked " How can we rcp the product and untar it on those servers that are not supported by SD?"

Yes, you can do it. It could be an ugly way of doing it since you can't uninstall the product and you have to create links manually (if needed)

Hope this is clear.

You can rcp the product to remote machine and untar them in normal manner. You can export the path to PATH variable or give symbolic link to /usr/bin or needed locations.

sd* commands will install packages based on the scripts available in that product. Instead of that you can use the binaries available in the product directly.

If you are not using symbolic link method them for uninstalling simply rm -rf .

If you are not installing a product with swinstall in a proper manner then that is hard way of working.

Just start swagend and install it. Then make it stop. It will be good more.
