Using the GUI and TUI Commands
Chapter 148
Performing Actions—The Actions Menu
Each Action menu in the GUI/TUI programs has series of actions for that
command. These actions vary according to which command you invoke.
(You may have to click on an item in the object list to enable some of the
actions that are grayed out.) The following actions are common to
swinstall, swcopy, swlist, and swremove.
Open Item/Close Level
The
Open Item or Close Level menu choices let you see the contents of a
selected object or close it.
Each object list is hierarchical. Objects that have an arrow (
→) after the
name can be opened to reveal other items. For example, to see the
subproducts in a particular product, you can open that product by double
clicking on the object or by selecting
Actions ->Open Item. The object list
then shows a listing of the subproducts for that product. If you want to
open the subproduct, double click on it and its filesets are displayed. (In
the TUI, move the cursor to the item you want to open and click
Return.)
When the product is opened, all of its subproducts (and filesets that are
not part of a subproduct) are shown in the list. At the product level, only
products are listed together. If the software view is Bundle and the
bundle is opened, all HP-UX OS products that are wholly or partially
contained in the bundle will be shown. When one of the products is
opened, only subproducts and filesets in the open product and open
bundle are shown.
To close an object and return to the previous list, double click on the first
item in the list (
. .(go up)) or select Actions->Close Level. (In the TUI, you
must use Close Level in the Actions menu or press
Return while
highlighting the (
. .(go up)) item.)
