Step I: Start-Up
To start the GUI or TUI for an copy session, type:
/usr/sbin/swcopy
The GUI is automatically invoked unless you also specify software on the command
line. To invoke the GUI and specify software, include the -i option. For example, to
use the GUI for a preview (analysis only) session with MyDepot, type:
swcopy -i -p /MyDepot
The Software Selection window appears with the Specify Source dialog and the Select
Target Depot Path dialogs superimposed over it.
Step II: Specify Target
In this step, you specify the target to which SD-UX will copy the software.
(This step is skipped if you include the -t target option when you invoke the GUI.
See “Using the swcopy Command Line” (page 122).)
The Select Target Depot Path dialog displays the default target depot. Since this matches
the default source depot path, you must select a new target:
