The following example verifies the directory depot /my_depots/PHSS_30278_depot/. This
depot contains one patch, PHSS_30278. This patch is dependent on patch PHSS_29657, which
is not included in the depot. Because of this, the verification failed. The command output indicates
how you can obtain more information about the failure. In this case, if patch PHSS_29657 is
already installed on the target system, you can use depot PHSS_30278_depot for installation of
patch PHSS_30278, even though the depot failed verification.
For example:
$ swverify -d \* @ /my_depots/PHSS_30278_depot
======= 05/03/04 13:04:00 MDT BEGIN swverify SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=my_system-0841)
* Session started for user "some_user@my_system".
* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for
"my_system:/my_depots/PHSS_30278_depot".
NOTE: The software "PHSS_30278" was successfully marked, but it depends
on the following software items which could not be found in the source.
However, these items may already be in the target. This will be checked
during the Analysis Phase: PHSS_29657.LANG-AUX,fa=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA
