Installation Instructions

To install HP WDB, run the SD-UX swinstall command. It invokes a user interface that leads you through the installation. It also gives you information about disk space requirements, version numbers, product descriptions, and dependencies.

For more information on installation procedures and related issues, see the Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX and other README, installation, and upgrade documentation provided with the HP-UX 11.x operating system package.

NOTE: If you install a compiler product that includes a version of HP WDB earlier than this version, swinstall generates the following message:

ERROR: A later revision (one with a higher revision number) of fileset "WDB-GUI.WDB-GUI-HELP,r=B.11.31" has already been installed. Either remove this fileset or change the "allow_downdate”

To retain the later version of HP WDB, ignore this message. The new products are installed, and the latest version of HP WDB continues to be available.
