"Connection closed (dce / rpc)"

[masood bt]

I tried to install the oracle Application patch
Using this command
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s hhln-mgt-ign101:/var/spool/sw/patch_OraAppServ/depot \* @ hhln-b00-lds201

After an hour of analysis, I have got the below error messages.

hhln-b00-lds201:/ # swjob -a log hhln-b00-lds201-0052 @ hhln-b00-lds201:/

Also, here is additional information:

hhln-b00-cie203:/ # /sbin/init.d/dce start

NOTE: No components of DCE are configured.

Finished DCE startup.

Any suggestions please ?

Hi Masood,

The actual cause of the problem seems to be a loss of network communication

Can please copy the depot to your local system

Example :-

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s $PWD/PHSS_35385.depot \*

Good Luck !!!

Thanks,
Johnson
