Groups and Source Options
Group and source options can help increase performance of some
commands.
Target and software selections can be saved as group files and re-used.
This reduces the need to re-specify commonly used selections, which
reduces the time required to perform swinstall, swcopy, or swremove
commands. See “Add/Save Software Group” on page 49, and “Software
and Target Lists” on page 192 for more information.
Specifying source depots in advance can reduce the number of screens
needed to run or schedule a swcopy or swinstall command. If you set the
source= default option to your main source depot, SD-UX can
immediately list the products available. This eliminates the Source
Selection dialog, except when changing the default.
