[ How to reduce the time of getting information of depots ]

[madhavabk]

Hi all,

We are required to retrive the information of around 15 product from the HPUX. And we requie only location, size, tag and version (revision) information for all 15 products. I am running a script but it takes lot of time to get all these information. In script i am using this logic. It reads name of the products from a file, and runs repeated swlist command with

infile=$1
REQUIRED_TAGS="size revision location tag"
for line in `cat $infile`
do
for tags in $REQUIRED_TAGS
do
swlist -vl product $line | grep -w ^$tags
done
done

tag :- contains all the required fields.
line:- contains all the product name.

Is there any way to reduce the time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

run the command onto a file swlist -vl product > swlist.out

then run the grep command against the file
so the command is not run aagain and again

And you can specify the information needed on the commandline. And specify all products in one line too.
As in:
swlist -a size -a revision -a location -a tag `cat $infile`

Or, of course:
swlist -a size -a revision -a location -a tag | grep -f $infile

swlist can read the products from an input file:

swlist -f fileWithProducts

Then, as others have said, specify the attributes you want directly on the command line:

swlist -a size -a revision ... -f fileWithProducts
