Hi Guys,

I downloaded some patches for our machine but when i tried to execute the create_depot_hp-ux_11 script i am getting this errors:

Hi

Try downloading the patch again.It seems to be corrupt


See this sample execution of create_depot_hp-ux_11

DEPOT: /tmp/patch/hpux_800_11.11_PHCO_29960/depot
BUNDLE: BUNDLE
TITLE: Patch Bundle
UNSHAR: y
PSF: depot.psf
Expanding patch shar files...

list of SD installable patches = PHCO_29960
Copying PHCO_29960 into depot /tmp/patch/hpux_800_11.11_PHCO_29960/depot

99 times out of 100, this problem is caused by incomplete download.

I personally find the ftp script method of patch download the most reliable.

Please try the download again and monitor it to make sure it finishes.

Hi Guys...

Thanks for the replies..i alreadt resolved this problem. Its not a corrupted file after all. The problem was FTP mode of transfer....Apparently, i was using ASCII but when i reverted to binary all went well...
