[GREGORY JONES_3]

i have a file /sdk14_14206_1100.depot
i am trying to install, when i run swinstall and try above path as source it says "..no depot software at this location....."
what to do?

[RAC_1]

swlist -l depot -s "/sdk14_14206_1100.depot"

what does it say>>

[Juan M Leon]

Try the following
swinstall -s /PATH/sdk14_14206_1100.depot

is this the java1.4 software, make sure you read the documentation because it needs the depency patch before install it.

Hope it helps

Which is your s/w depot? Is it the same as the local machine on which you're trying to install this product?

Gregory,

1) Have you entered a absoulte path?
If your depot are on / the following command works fine:

swinstall -i -s /sdk14_14206_1100.depot

otherwise, specify the correct absolute path!

2) Your depot is compatible with your OS ?

hope this help

Hi Gregory,

If you have valid depot file at the specified absolute path it should take the depot s/w and install it. Please take care to give absolute path.
Another thing which may be least chance will be that the depot s/w may not be the correct one for your version. But this had happened to me when I tried to install Jawa which was for hpux 11.00 on hpux 11.11.

hope it may help you

Hi, you must write absolute path including file name.

swinstall -s PATH_WHERE_IS_DEPOT/DEPOT_NAME

es. swinstall -s /tmp/foo.depot

Bye

Un-tar the .depot file, go into the catalog directory, touch swlock, and try swinstall again. Most of the time, files downloaded as .depot are tar files of a previously created depot.
