swcopy issue

[Popy]

Hi,

I have 3 Nos of software .depot files ( which are good install , swinstall -p succeded without any error ) and a patch depot diretory created by the standard create_depot_hp-ux_11 utility.

All these softeares are good to install individually,

Now, my problem is I want to get all these .depot softwares and patch depot in a single source, I have tried teh following command,

swcopy /var/tmp/XXXXX.depot @ /var/tmp/depot

but it failed while copying to /var/tmp/depot and the error I am seeing is "dependancy not met " ( infact all the dependancies are met on the system )

Please help in getting all these softwares to single depot.

Thanks,
Popy

in your command, if you include this command line argument, it should go smoothly

-x autoselect_dependencies=false

so your command will look like this:

swcopy autoselect_dependencies=true /var/tmp/XXXXX.depot @ /var/tmp/depot

hope it helps

sorry the command will actually look like this:

swcopy -x autoselect_dependencies=false /var/tmp/XXXXX.depot @ /var/tmp/depot

I have copied and pasted the default selection in my previous message.

Hi,

you also could start 'swcopy' then you'll get a GUI where you can choose source and target.
I know, the gurus don't like this, but sometimes this optical medium helps :-)

Thanks for the quick reply Mel.

I have tried the one you suggested but it did not work...see the error am getting..

ERROR: The dependencies for fileset â
â â "FC-TACHYON-TL.FC-TL-RUN,r=B.11.11.13" cannot be resolved (see â
â â previous lines). â
â â You must resolve the above dependencies before operating on â
â â this fileset or change the "enforce_dependencies" option to â
â â "false". vâ
â â <

Thanks

I have used swcopy -x autoselect_dependencies=false /var/tmp/XXXXX.depot @ /var/tmp/depot

also you can include this

-x enforce_dependencies=false after autoselect_dependencies=false directive. I thought not autoselecting should be enough but obviously not.

Hope this solves your problem
