how to bundle product software in tar format

[krs2prs]

Hi,
I have 3x individual PRM product softwares as below:
PRMKernelSW,r=C.03.03.01,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.tar
PRMLibraries,r=C.03.03.01,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.tar
B3835DA,r=C.03.03.01,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.tar

I can do swinstall -s on each product but I want to put all these 3 products in 1 . How can I do this?

Thanks,
krs2prs

Shalom,

I'm kind of wondering how you got these products into that format.

See swpackage to make a depot into a tape like single file depot.

Hi Steven
I got this somewhere in the web. I need to merge these 3 products into 1. or how do I convert this to depot format?

Hi,

'how do I convert this to depot format?'
- it depends, how your tar file built.

Can you give us a list of one tar?

Also check 'man swpackage' for SEP's tipp.

Hi,
I don't know how this product was built in tar format. I'm attaching one file.

Hi again,

it doesn't looks like you can 'swinstall' these tar's - it's a plain directory structure - btw. you can see it with 'tar tvf .

You can untar (tar xvf ) all tar files in a temporary directory, the tar all together in one file - 'tar cvf .'

Then you've one tar file with all products.
These products will not be registered in swlist, because you don't have installation files but a tar-archiv of an installation!

Hi,
I just did swinstall -s and it works fine. You don't need to untar the file.

ok, so check the man pages of swpackage:
'swpackage can be used to re-package software_selections from an existing distribution directory to a distribution tape.

krs2prs you can use the swcopy command to bundle the products into on depot

man swcopy

>I don't know how this product was built in tar format.

As David says, these are SD depots, not ordinary tar files.

>Volkmar: it doesn't looks like you can 'swinstall' these tar's

Sure you can. swlist likes them fine.

>You don't need to untar the file.

Right, you must not do that.

>David: you can use the swcopy command to bundle the products into on depot

Right, use swcopy not swpackage.
