Overriding Conflicts

If installation conflicts cannot be resolved but the installation must be done, the user can override the conflicts and continue with the installation by setting the rulesoverride preference. Overriding conflicts leaves a pre-existing conflict on the target, which can be seen if the show_existing_conflicts preference is set to true.

This procedure is recommended only for extreme cases and for knowledgable users, since it can introduce unfulfilled product dependencies or install incompatible products onto the system.

In the following example, a conflict is "resolved" by setting rulesoverride to true:

product1 cannot be installed because of missing prerequisites:
1a. Do not install product1 (xxxxxxxxxx)
1b. Install product0 (xxxxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxxxx) (not on current distribution)

Inst> set rulesoverride true
Inst> go
