swlist is SD (siftware distributor command)
It lists that was installed through SD.

Oracle and apps that use their own installers, will not be shown in swlist.

Oracle uses it's own installer,and it is not controlled by SD(Software Distributor). It wont get listed if you use # swlist

Only software which has been packaged using SDUX tools (swpackage) will appear in swlist(1m) output.

hello Abhijit:
swlist as you may know has an interactive mode, I have found it handy to change the view of products. Try swlist -i then in the View menu select "Change Software View" this may help. You can use also swverify to see if the product is actually registered in the IPD
good luck

Hi

The oracle installed products can be viewed in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/orainventory/

If you want to list the options you need to query the v$option in the DB

Abhijit,

Try changing the default view within swlist by selecting the "Change Software Filter..." menu item; checking the "Filtering on" button and then selecting the "Uncategorized software" item from the drop down list.

cheers!

so there is no way to list the products/applications installed not by SD in HP-UX????

[Patrick Wallek]

Exactly correct.

If it is not instaleld via swinstall, swlist will not be able to tell you anything.

Unfortunately a lot of vendors still use their own installation methods. There is no easy way to keep track of all of them.
