help on Package Building Swpackage/swinstall

[LeoThe13th]

Hi,
I am working for client in a outsourcing project. I was planning to automate the packaging and deploying activity. As i have know swinstall/swpackage of HP UX. i started preparaing psf file,etc.
I dont have super user password and i cant get superuser password; as i am developer.
As per my knowledge swinstall/swpackage needs root login for executon.

I have a question is there any other user through which i can execute above commands. Or is there any specific privelges i will get for my dev user so that i can run above commands.

Can anyone help on this....

Thanks
Bhushan

Have you tried "-x run_as_superuser=false"?

Make sure you realize this can't be used for OS or special ownership files. See swpackage(1m).

You could also try sudo and RBAC to change to root for specific commands.

Thanks,
I am to create package and install it succesfully with -x run_as_superuser=false
I am using following lines for packaging and installing.
swpackage -vv -x run_as_superuser=false -x media_type=tape -s packaging.psf @ SDK_AUTO_DEMO.depot

swinstall -x run_as_superuser=false -s /home/opsman/Bhushan/packaging/SDK_AUTO_DEMO.depot SDK_AUTO_DEMO

But when i am trying to reomve with following line i am getting an error
swremove -p -v -x run_as_superuser=false -d SDK_AUTO_DEMO.Binaries @ /home/opsman/Bhushan/packaging/SDK_AUTO_DEMO.depot

ERROR: "hwbbsb05:/home/opsman/Bhushan/packaging/SDK_AUTO_DEMO.depot":

ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this

Can anyone please help in resolving the above error.

Thanks in advance.

>But when I am trying to remove with following line I am getting an error
swremove -p -v -x run_as_superuser=false -d SDK_AUTO_DEMO.Binaries @ /home/opsman/Bhushan/packaging/SDK_AUTO_DEMO.depot

Why are you using -p?
You don't use -d nor @ if you installed it in / like you did above.

What does "swlist -l fileset x run_as_superuser=false SDK_AUTO_DEMO" show?

[Dennis Handly]

Oops that was:
swlist -l fileset -x run_as_superuser=false SDK_AUTO_DEMO

[LeoThe13th]

hwbbsb05:/home/opsman/Bhushan/packaging>>swlist -l fileset -x run_as_superuser=false SDK_AUTO_DEMO
# Initializing...

Can you please help in how swremove statement looks like.
Thanks

>it always give me error/warning in post-installation.

What is the message?

>Am I missing something while packaging or we cant run sql scrips or oracle package while installation.

If you need to reboot, you would have problems. But if you don't, you would need to make sure you have all of your PATH and other variables set in your control script.

Hi,
In my post installation script i have following command
sqlplus -s rcrp/rcrp
Initiall it gives an error sqlplus not found. Then I have done user ORACLE_HOME.

/dboracle/orabase/product/9.2.0.6/bin/sqlplus -s rcrp/rcrp

Then i am getting following error
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory

As u mention we need to declare all env varibale in control scripts. I have tried few ways but still giving an error. Can you please mentiopn how to do that.

Thanks

It seems this thread is also getting that problem:

>we need to declare all env variable in control scripts.

And env variable is a shell variable that is exported. So you need:
export ORACLE_HOME=/dboracle/orabase/product/9.2.0.6
export ORACLE_SID=cisa2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/dboracle/orabase/product/9.2.0.6
export PATH=$PATH:/dboracle/orabase/product/9.2.0.6/bin

(You probably don't need it for PATH since already exported.)
