Problem:
Trying to install COBOL Server on the same machine as Visual COBOL dev Hub in rpm formatted files resulted in errors:
rpm -i --prefix=/opt/microfocus/COBOLServer cobol_server_4.0_redhat_x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
Micro_Focus_visualcobol_devhub conflicts with Micro_Focus_cobol_server-4.0.0.0-186407.x86_64
Micro_Focus_cobol_server conflicts with (installed) Micro_Focus_visualcobol_devhub-4.0.0.0-186407.x86_64
Resolution:
To have two RPM products installed at the same time. "nodeps" needs to be added to the following command.
rpm --nodeps -i --prefix=/opt/microfocus/COBOLServer cobol_server_4.0_redhat_x86_64.rpm
The “--nodeps” command allows two RPM products to be installed on the machine when the –prefix option is used. Otherwise it is blocked as seen.
