Modifying the IPD (swmodify)
Chapter 3118
You cannot use the -a option to change the following
attributes: tag, revision, instance_id, vendor_tag,
corequisite or prerequisite.
-c
catalog Writes full catalog structure information into the
directory specified by
catalog . All attributes down to
the file level and control scripts are written. See
“Requesting User Responses (swask)” on page 407.
-C
session_file
Run the command and save the current option and
operand values to a session_file for re-use in another
session. See “Session Files” on page 61.
-f
software_file
Read a list of software selections from a separate file
instead of (or in addition to) the command line. See
“Software Files” on page 58.
-P
pathname_file Specifies a file containing the pathnames of files
being added to or deleted from the IPD.
-s
product_specification_file
The source Product Specification File (PSF) describes
the product, subproduct, fileset, and/or file definitions
that will be added or modified by swmodify.
If you specify a
product_specification_file ,
swmodify selects the individual
software_selections
from the full set that is defined in the PSF. If no
software_selections are specified, then swmodify
will select all of the software defined in the PSF. The
software selected from a PSF is then applied to the
target_selection , with the selected software objects
either added to, modified in, or deleted from it.
If a PSF is not specified, then
software_selections
must be specified. swmodify will select the
software_selections from the software defined in
the given (or default)
target_selection .
The product specification file (PSF) for swmodify uses
the same swpackage PSF format as defined in
“Creating a Product Specification File (PSF)” on
page 307.
