swlist

[Ross Minkov]

1. How can I get the list of all files to be installed and check where the files are going to be installed (/usr/local, /opt, etc.) before swinstalling them.

2. Same question, but after something was installed?

TIA,
Ross

Hi

I use:

tar -tvf yourfile.depot

That give me the list of the file ab=nd where they are to be installed.

swlist -v

swlist -a path

Second one seems right.

If you use the swinstall TUI or GUI you can select what you are installing and hit return or double click on the product / package and it will go down through the various components of the product and eventually allow you to get down to the file level.

And the second part of your question:

swlist -l file depot_content_name | more

Where depot_content_name would be something like this. If you were installing HP Apache then no matter what the depot was called it would be the package name ie:


#swlist |grep -i apache
B9416AA 2.0.43.00.05 HP Apache-based Web Server

Then you would run:

swlist -l file B9416AA | more

Before Install:

Depot file for the product/bundle "ABCD" on local server as /tmp/ABCD.depot

swlist -l file ABCD -s /tmp/ABCD.depot

Product/bundle "ABCD" is on an ignite server "xyz" in SW depot /swdepot/apps

swlist -l file ABCD -d @ xyz:/swdepot/apps

After install:

swlist -l file
