How to extract a .zip file on unix?

[Ankit Grover]

I have put an Oracle patch p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip on my Unix Server. But I am not able to uncompress it.
I tried gunzip & uncompress. Is there some where I can extract the contents?
The file size is around 900 MB.

If you have gxip product installed then you can simply run

gunzip ABC.gz

You need the unzip command.

I have tried all three:
#gunzip p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip
gunzip: p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored
#uncompress p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip
p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip.Z: No such file or directory
#unzip p4163445_92070_HPUX-IA64.zip
ksh: unzip: not found

Hi,

If you really want to unzip it on Unix machine, you have to download a third party software like unzip-5.52 (http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html). Otherwise, download it to your PC unzip it here and upload it back to your Unix machine.

The problem with extracting it on my Windows Machine is that its a pretty huge file and it took almost full day for uploading it from my local machine to remote Unix Server. I want to avoid re-upload.

Hi,

You can always use "jar" utility.

# /opt/java1.4/bin/jar -xvf

you don't have unzip installed. You need to download unzip software and install it on HP UNIX server.

hi ankrit!

You must use unzip software to unzip the Oracle Patch.


You may wish to verify the current Oracle Home if there exist a version of unzip software already


e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/bin/unzip



hope this helps!

kind regards

you can also use pkzip to extract .zip files.

Arunvijai,

That jar trick is a good one.

Either unzip is not installed on your system, or it is not in your path.

To find out if it is installed you can do a search of the system
find / -name unzip

If it is not installed, you download and install it it from the HP-UX porting site (no cost)

hi Yogeeraj!
Thanks a lot.

The solution $ORACLE_HOME/bin/unzip worked
