swinstall single file from depot

[Graham Van der vaart_1]

Hi
swlist -d -l file -s /cdrom/OV_DEPOT/HPOvOServer.depot | grep libopcsv_r.sl returns:
OVOPC.OVOPC-LIB: /opt/OV/lib/libopcsv_r.sl
Is it possible to swinstall only a single file from the depot?
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,

Not to my knowledge, but the depot file is a tar archive. You should be able to use tar xvf to unpack the archive.

Hope this helps,

Any reason you only want install one file? The product may be depending on all of a set of files to work.

This is not recommended.
As mentioned elsewhere, each file may be gzipped but without the .gz suffix. Use file(1) to check.

"swlist -l filset -s /cdrom/OV_DEPOT/HPOvOServer.depot" and see what file/fileset u need to install.

run a "swinstall -p -s /cdrom/OV_DEPOT/HPOvOServer.depot" and try selecting the single fileset. If there is no dependenciies you can go ahead . otherwise i dont see a reason why you should SKIP the dependenices as they are all required to get everything working/integrated properly
