depot install order of packages

[Michael O'brien_1]

Hi,

If I created a depot which contains a collection of packages. Can I control the order in which these packages are installed. I want to install a security package only once the networking package is installed.

Thanks
Michael

No. You can only control it by asking swinstall to install only part of what is there.

Why do you care what order as long as you can install all at once?

If there is a dependency, that is usually included with each product.

Hi,

We have a custom product in the depot which will applys configuration to the installed product. APA is installed and the interfaces are defined in the configuration for the specific box in the custom product.

Were thinking of putting a dependancy in the custom product.

Cheers

There are two types of SD dependencies. Corequisites and prerequisites.
Prerequisites are done first.

Thanks Denise,

We are going to implement a prerequiste and see if this solves our issue.
