swcopy and patch bundles

[Paul Stock]

I'm attempting to roll up a number of patches using the following type of command:

swcopy -s /tmp/snp1.depot ServiceNode @ /tmp/temp_depot
swcopy -s /tmp/snp2.depot ServiceNode @ /tmp/temp_depot

and so on.

The difficulty arises when trying to install the roll up as the product tag is the same in all patches. This means that swinstall will only install one software selection when I try this:

swinstall -r -s /tmp/temp_depot ServiceNode @ /tmp/test_install

Is there anyway to force swinstall to install everything? I've already tried expanding the software selection to the version level, swinstall tells me it's not going to install as they're the same thing - even when they're not.

Is there a different approach I should be taking for this?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

perhaps it's a stupid question, but have you already tried the swcopy gui?
I think you have to copy all patches into on swdepot and if you choose in the swinstall gui
the depot it will install all patches.

I take it that swinstall is failing because it thinks the product is already installed.

You could use the -x reinstall=true option to force the installation, but that will result in your IPD only having one entry for the product when multiple revisions exist.

The depots that you're using really should be recreated correctly.

Hi Paul,

Try \* insetad of using product name:

swinstall -r -s /tmp/temp_depot \* @ /tmp/test_install

Thanks for all your help guys.

Steven, yes it's failing because the product tag is the same. In order to do what I want to do I'll need to change the product tag to be unique for each package.
