Removing products from depot

[Alex Lavrov]

Good morning all,
I want to remove some of the products from the depot on the computer, I don't want to install them anymore.
I tried to do so with swremove, but it only removes them from the computer, I want to remove them from the depot.
I'm using HPUX 11i.

thank you.

Try using 'swreg'

# swreg -u

I forgot to mention, once you have unregistered the depot, (swreg -u) you can then go and remove the software from the directory in which it resides.

so, I must unregister the depot,
then delete the software, and register it back?
there is no way to do it when the depot is registered?
I don't wat to remove the whole depot, only some products inside.

thank you.

Alex,

It's "swremove -d". The -d option tells swremove to look in the depot rather than the installed software.

Alex,

If you only want to remove a couple of products from the depot, all you have to do is :

#swremove -d
