Appendix A 449
• patch_save_files=true
Saves patched files, which permits future rollback of patches. When
set to false, patches cannot be rolled back (removed) unless the base
software modified by the patch is removed at the same time.
Applies to swinstall.
• polling_interval=2
Applies only to interactive sessions. Specifies how often, in seconds,
SD-UX polls each target for status information during the analysis
and execution phases. When you must operate across wide-area
networks, you can increase the polling interval to reduce network
overhead. Specifying a high numbers for this option creates longer
intervals between polls.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swremove.
• preserve_create_time=false
Preserves the original create time when you copy depots, which
produces consistent results when you use the copies. The default of
false sets the create_time of software bundles, products, and filesets
equal to the time swcopy created the new depot. When set to true,
the create_time is set to that specified in the source depot from which
the current selections were copied. Note that using this option when
copying to a master depot can change the objects that are visible
when you use the create_time_filter option.
Applies to swcopy.
• preview=false
If true, run this command in preview mode only (complete the
analysis phase and exit). This option has the same effect as
specifying -p on the command line.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swconfig.
• reboot_cmd=/sbin/reboot
This is the command called by the agent to reboot the system.
Applies to swagent.
