Trying to SWCOPY a 11.00 depot on an 11.11 system.

[Daniel Simard]

Hi,
I was wondering if you can confirm something for me. I'm trying to swcopy an 11.00 depot on an 11.11 system. I get errors saying that I must resolve above dependencies before continuing or change (enforce dependencies to false).

I was wondering what I should Do. Mainly, All I want is the 11.11 server to "hold" all my depot files including 11.00 files.

Please let me know.

"EMS-Config.EMS-GUI,r=A.03.20.01" cannot be successfully resolved
ERROR: The dependencies for fileset "EMS-Config.EMS-GUI,r=A.03.20.01" cannot be resolved (see previous lines).You must resolve the above dependencies before operating on this fileset or change the "enforce_dependencies" option to"false".

When youre copying depots from one to another (or one server to another) always use the;
-x enforce_dependencies=false
option on swcopy. This is to prevent it checking dependencies which you only want checked when you do an swinstall.

The 11.0 and 11.11 versions are the same, its only the older 10.20 depots which if you store them on 11/11i you also need another option;
-x layout_version=0.8
as the SD versions are quite a bit different.

Hi Daniel,

As the message says, you just need to set the "enforce_dependencies" option to"false".

Daniel,

I really doubt -> if you do that, the new system with 11.11 would most likely become inconsistent. As the different os versions demands different file sets as well as diff. dependencies. I don't not think its suggested anyway.

You may have to have a look at he patch database information from itrc web site and verify against each patches which are already installed in the 11.00 and try to find the similar ones for 11.11. -

Cheers !!!
