Re: The trouble with patching :-(
First run this command.
#swlist -d @/scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
The above command should list the product/patch available on the depot. Then register the depot using this command.
#swreg -l depot /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
Now run this command.
#swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -s /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot \*

Re: The trouble with patching :-(
Hmmm , tried that and no joy , I also set permissions on file and directory to 777 (just in case that was causing issue) and file is located in the correct area as below as well so dont understand.
dubhptst: # swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s dubhptst:/scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
======= 08/10/09 14:42:00 BST BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=dubhptst-0077)
* Session started for user "root@dubhptst".
* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "dubhptst:/".
NOTE: The patch match operation failed to find patches for target
software on "dubhptst" which passed the filter.
NOTE: Cannot continue the "swinstall" task.
======= 08/10/09 14:42:02 BST END swinstall SESSION (non-interactive)
(jobid=dubhptst-0077)
dubhptst: # ls -al /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 7086080 May 4 2007 /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot

Re: The trouble with patching :-(
If you find any difficulties using command line, You could try with interactive session. Just run this..
#swinstall -s /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
or
#swinstall
It will open up a user interface. Select these details.
Source Depot Type: [ Local Directory ]
[ Source Host Name... ] hostname
[ Source Depot Path... ] /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
Give OK. It will list the patch. select the patch then goto actions in the menu ->
mark for install -> again actions in the menu -> select Install

C-ANSI-C B.11.11.16
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.14
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.12
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.10
Do you *have* one of those products on your system?
swlist -l product C-ANSI-C

Re: The trouble with patching :-(
The patch you are trying to install applies to one of four possible products:
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.16
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.14
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.12
C-ANSI-C B.11.11.10
Do you have anyone of those products on your server? If not, then this is the reason for the failure. Don't forget to look at the 'swagentd.log' file for details.
Also do:
# swlist -l product |grep C-ANSI-C
Regards!

Re: The trouble with patching :-(
dubhptst:scratch # swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
-s /scratch/PHSS_36086.depot
Instead of the putting \ -s to the first line.

Re: The trouble with patching :-(
Hmmm , yes I just issued the command
swlist -l product C-ANSI-C
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "dubhptst"...
ERROR: Software "C-ANSI-C" was not found on host "dubhptst:/".
dubhptst: #
Funny enough Oracle10g pre req and checking requiremnets indicate I need the patch for install - I wonder might I get away with it as we may not need the above.
Could that be a problem ? I was thinking that the error looked more related to a synthax problem on my part , for example if the patch was a different one altogether and I used the above command would it still fail. Will try a few more of the suggestions above , and post output.
