depot problems

[Chris Fadrowski]

I am trying to register a depot on a local machine. When i do a
swreg -l depot /u01/depot
i get errors stating that no depot software in /u01/depot. Excuse me in advance, but do i need to swcopy of software first to this destination so i can register it?

Hi,

'swreg' normally using for registering a depot created by 'swpackage'. By default, the swcopy command registers newly created depots.

You can use 'swreg' to explicitly register/unregister a depot when the automatic behaviors of swcopy, swinstall, swpackage and swremove do not suffice.

Hello,

"swreg" can only be used to register an existing depot, so you have to use "swpackage" or "swcopy" first.
That problem does not exist for un-registering depots, though...

Hi,

Here is the procedure I've used once I've downloaded the patches and placed into a directory.

# mkdir /tmp/patches
# for i in PH*
> do
> sh $i
> done

# for i in PH*.depot
> do
> swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @/tmp/patches
> done

Hi Chris,

make sure you don't have a typo in the command line. Sometimes that is the reason for the error message.
Swinstall is very case sensitive.

Take care,

Hi Chris,

you should first copy some depot software to the directory using swcopy or swpackge and then register the depot.

Hope this helps.
