An administrator attempts to install the fileset tivoli.tsm.client, but it fails due to missing requisites. The administrator copies the required filesets into the install directory and tries the…

AIX installp relies on a .toc (table of contents) file in the install directory to enumerate available filesets. When filesets are manually copied in, the existing .toc is stale and does not list them; running inutoc regenerates the .toc so installp can find and satisfy the requisites. A leftover .toe file can also block this update and must be removed first.

The failure is caused by the package directory's stale table of contents, not by a version mismatch of xlsmp.rte; a version issue would produce a different error message.

Group executable permission on filesets is not a requirement for installp to process them; installp reads package metadata, not executes the fileset files.

Group readable permission is already typically set on copied filesets and is not what prevents installp from locating the requisites in a missing or stale .toc.
