When extracting a tar file containing Shareplex binaries, the following errors are observed:
tar xvf <tar file name>
.
.
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
1. Integrity or corruption issues with the downloaded tar file
2. Directory permissions do not allow writes
1. Download the tar file from supportlink once again using binary mode
2. Make sure the directory permissions allow writes
3. Extract the new tar file (in a fresh directory if needed)
Starting with Shareplex 6.0 or higher, the compressed binaries are now on .tpm format and not tar format.
