*.zip file

[rustam_2]

I got to my HP-UX server *.zip file, where is Install file(Patches for Oracle). How can i open *.zip file?

[Viveki · Accepted solution]

you can use gunzip for this puepose. 'gunzip -d'.

Also there is a third party patch for the same. (I couldnt recollect the same)

Or just unzip the same in your PC using winzip and transfer to the system.

Please find the link from which you can download the Zip utility.

You can also download the unzip utility from the below link

>Viveki: you can use gunzip for this purpose.

gunzip may work in some cases but best to get the real thing.

Thanks, Viveki
i have installed unzip-6.0-ia64-11.31 software, but tar's syntax doesnt work, maybe i do something wrong.
Which command i have to run?

You can also use Java 1.4 to unzip if you have it.

/opt/java1.4/bin/jar -xvf

I sure hope not. "/usr/local/bin/", perhaps.

Hi,

try the following unzip utility , i have tested it before and used it for oracle files,and 100% working.

If there is only one compressed file in .zip, any of the above commands works. AFAIK, Oracle installation is a directory tree. NPUX unzip can't work with such a structure. It's possible uncompess the installation either on Windows or LINUX machine. At least a couple of years ago I had to work by this way.

sometimes if "gunzip *zip" doestn't work, you can use "unzip *zip"directly
