 AIX packaging issue (LPP) Hi, So far, I have not found a way how to find out the following from within a pre_i script : a) If the fileset is that is currently being installed, is already installed b) If it is already installed, with what version It seems that as soon as the pre_i script is executed, the ODM (both product and lpp repositories) is already updated with the new version of the fileset. Hopefully anyone can help me out in this one. Thanks! Mark      |

See the section titled 'Processing for the Apply Operation' at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...cNode=int_9268 and you will see that the pre_rm comes early in the processing order. And the section titled 'Optional Executable Files Contained in the liblpp.a File' at that same URL implies the pre_rm happens before the pre_i. Paul Landay |

From within the pre_rm script, I am able to figure out the version which will be updated. Thanks! Cheers! Mark |

When updating, I want to be able to run only those steps in the configuration process that need to be executed. So only configuration steps of which I added/changed/fixed between the installed version and the one I installing, need to be run. For this reason, I need to be able to figure out the version of the installed component. Mark |
