swlist and swremove not finding major DB

[Darrell Tyler_1]

Hello,

I'm running swlist and swremove to compare the lists that they generate from my boxes. The swremove is far more intense than that of swlist. That comes as no surprise that was expected. However, neither one are locating and listing Oracle (which is all over this box in question). Is there a reason why it is not picking up Oracle?

Hi,

Probably because it is not installed with swinstall, but with its own oracle installer program.

Hope this helps,

I do not think that, it will list it. Oracle is not installed through swinstall. It has it's own installer.

Thanks!
Is there a way of tweaking swlist to poll for other sw repositories??

No, swlist only knows about software installed by swagentd which has its own internal software database. There is no way to "tweak" something when the number of ways to install software is legion.
