Patch Bundle Problem.

[brian_31]

Hi All:

I have a patch bundle on a depot. It is called QPK11.00(HP march patch bundle). How do i make it a depot with patches alone and not the bundle. I just want to put in a depot all the patches from that QPK11.00 and add some other patches to it and also remove some. Then i want to make_bundle it and swpackage it. The question is how do i break the bundle to create a depot with the individual patches?

Thanks in advance,
Brian.

Use secopy to copy the patches to another directory. swcopy will automatically make this directory a depot. You can then use swpackage to copy it to tape.

Hi Brian:

You should be able to copy the bundle to disk and "unbundle" it:

# swremove -d bundle_name. @ depot_name

NOTE the period (".") following the bundle_name. By specifying this, you unwrap the contents leaving patches and products.

Once this is done, you can remove and add individual patches from/to the depot and subsequently install as you see fit.

Regards!

Thank you for your guidance. Let me explain it more clearly..

I go out to a server and pull out a depot and swcopy that to the local server(/depot/PATCHES). I do cd /depot/PATCHES and i find a huge list of patches(all directories) and then in the end 2 dir's by name QPK1100, catalog and a file swagent.log.
This QPK1100 seems to be the bundle name. Now i want to extract the patches from this and create a new depot so that i could bundle this.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
Brian.
