Silent package installation swinstall swask

[mendocino]

Hi,

I have a question and hoping that someone might already know. I’m trying to do a silent installation on a packages. I generate a set of response files manually.

# swask -s /package.depot -c response_files \*

I’m able to install the package silently without any issues if I install the same package I generated the response files from.

# swinstall -s /package.depot - c response_files package

If I try to use the same response files to install the same package with a different version( ie 0.12.0.212.0 versus 0.12.0.213 ) then it complains.

Do anyone know of any way to disable this strict checking so I don’t have to generate new response files for every build?

Thanks.

You are trying to install an older version.
Add the following in the /var/adm/sw/defaults file:

swinstall.allow_downdate = true

Hope it helps,
