psf files to .depot files

[masood bt]

I have these two files

-rw-r----- 1 shaik ux-EMT-inf-1943552 Jun 5 15:26 apsIA
-rwxr-xr-x 1 shaik ux-EMT-inf- 19288 Jun 4 11:53 gcore

I suppose these are two executable files.

I want to add these to a depot.

before doing that i understand that i need to create .depot files.

for that i need psf files.

how do i create psf files?

[Mel Burslan]

did you try

man 4 swpackage

command yet ?

from the man pages of swpackage command:

...
Remarks
+ For a description of the Product Specification File (PSF) used as
input to the swpackage command, see the swpackage(4) man page by
typing man 4 swpackage on the command line.

+ For an overview of all SD commands, see the sd(5) man page by typing
man 5 sd on the command line.

+ For descriptions of all SD objects, attributes and data formats, see
the sd(4) man page by typing man 4 sd on the command line.

You can't add them do an existing SD product, you have to create a new one.

You can look at swpackage(1m) as Mel mentioned, or look into SPB:

so what i understand is I need to create a psf file before i use swpackage file. that man 4 swpackage is a bit lengthy(to be honest) and I couldnt understand the exact steps I need to follow to create a psf. any more help ? pls.

>that swpackage(4) is a bit lengthy

I would suggest you look at the Guide instead: "Software Distributor Administration Guide: HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3"
Chapter 10 Creating Software Packages
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5875/ch10.html

If you traced down the links I suggested you might try SPB. One says:
Instead of swpackage, there is Software Package Builder:
