How to make patch bundle

[Nagaraj Dandeboyina]

Hi there,
As I am working in HP-UX 11.00 have to install oracle8i on my server.For that oracle suggesting some 20 patches where I downloaded from net.I found very we can make them in bundle where we can install them at a time.
Is there any way to do with SAM or any script to do that where I can save time.

Thanking you

The following is a useful process for applying more than one patch while only requiring a single reboot after the final patch installation:
1) Share the patches and get the individual patch depots over to /tmp.
2) Make a new directory to contain the set of patches:
mkdir /tmp/DEPOT #For example
3) For each patch " PH**_*****"":
swcopy -s /tmp/PH**_*****.depot * @ /tmp/DEPOT
4) Use swinstall or the swinstall line command.

If you want to build a depot from different patches try this:

# cd /tmp/patches (or where ever your patches are)
# for i in /tmp/patch/PH??_?????
> do
> sh $i
> swcopy -s $i.depot * @ /var/patches
> done
# swlist -l product @ /var/patches
