Source Server has
Code:
root@oraapp:/backup>lslpp -l | grep rpm.rte
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.36  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.36  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
root@oraapp:/backup>oslevel -r
5200-05

root@oraapp:/backup>

Doesn't work on Target Server -1
Code:
oraprod@clodb:/backup>lslpp -l | grep rpm.rte
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.51  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.51  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager

/usr/bin/oslevel[627]: /tmp/sh18153548.13: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
oraprod@clodb:/backup>oslevel -r
/usr/bin/oslevel[627]: /tmp/sh18153550.13: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.
oraprod@clodb:/backup>

Also, doesn't work on Target Server -2
Code:
#lslpp -l | grep rpm.rte
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.36  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
  rpm.rte                   3.0.5.36  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
#oslevel -s
5300-01-00-0000
#oslevel -r
5300-01

2. Why do use two commands? GNU tar has an option z - tar [cxt]zf is simpler.[/QUOTE]

I will try this and will update you.

rpm2cpio

rpm2cpio(1)							   User Commands						       rpm2cpio(1)

NAME

       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive

SYNOPSIS

       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpm2cpio  utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
       ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard  out-
       put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Converting an rpm file

       example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
       31 blocks

       Example 2: Converting from standard input

       example% rpm2cpio < Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
       CPIO archive found!
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root   11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
       -rw-r--r--   1 root  root    1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
