Managing Software Depots
Copying Software Depots
Chapter 4140
Step III: Specify
Source
In this step, you must specify the source depot that contains the software
you want to copy. The Specify Source dialog (Figure 4-2, “Specify Source
Dialog,”) automatically lists the local host and default depot path.
(This step is skipped if you include the -s source option when you
invoke the GUI. See “Using the swcopy Command Line” on page 147.)
