Unzip Oracle patchset

[former_member759680]

Hello,

I just downloaded Oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset for AIX 5.3.

They are 4 .bin files.

As per Note - 509314, I joined the .bin files to form a single .zip file

command:

cat <pre><code>aa.bin <pre><code>ab.bin ... >> <pre><code>.zip

Now on AIX, when I try command - unzip <prefix>.zip it says that unzip is not found.

Can I use any tool from SAP Kernel to unzip this file?

Kindly suggest.

gzip -s .zip filename

Usually "unzip" utility will be in install directory of the download patch/files. That can be copied using ftp to unix server.

Hi,

you can use the commands gzip (gunzip) or bzip2 (bunzip2) or download a tool from ibm.

But there should be some way to unzip .zip files on AIX...

I tried

jar -x xyz.zip

But it doesnt work

Hi,

If your file is not currupt, it should work...

I assumed that you have java installed in your system.

just correct the command and then try...

jar -xvf filename.zip

if it says "command not found", give the absolute path of jar file...

#/path/to/your/jar/file/jar -xvf filename.zip

you can search the file using the below command.

which jar

it will show you the where the jar file is installed.

still if you fail to extract the file, try below tools to extract the same.

download unzip and other tools from the link...

then try...

Hope, it will help you...

transfer these file on your Windows PC and unzip it from there, once this is done, transfer through FTP to unix server using binary mode.

other possible solution,, use this link:

Hi,

try to unzip the file on your client and copy it back to your AIX machine.

If you want to unzip the file on your AIX you need to "install" a unzip tool (unzip for AIX, gunzip or search on the IBM side for an AIX unzipper).

Hi,

You can unzip using below command...

#jar -x <filename.zip>

jdk must be installed to do so...
