Inter-dependent Products

[Guru Prasanna_1]

Hello All,

I have a question to ask on "Managing HP-UX
Software With SD-UX".

I have a scenario where I have two products with
me:
PRODUCT-1
PRODUCT-2

These products can be installed in any order
(swinstall) on a machine. But, once installed,
while removing I need to ensure that both
products will be removed simultaneously. In
other words, PRODUCT-1 cannot be removed
without selecting PRODUCT-2 and PRODUCT-2
cannot be removed without selecting PRODUCT-1.
Can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Guru

You would probably want to swqpackage them together as a single product once
they are completed, so there is no choice but to install/uninstall them
together. I don't know of a way to cause swremove to require selecting another
product unless they are tied together in a package, but there may be a way.
