Starting Software Package Builder
To launch SPB from the command line, enter:
/opt/spb/bin/spb
The SPB GUI will launch and by default, the application will use the
packaging policy rules file appropriate for the HP-UX release version you
are running on your system. The packaging policy rules file is an
Extensible Markup Language (XML) formatted file which describes the
legal PSF syntax and any field value constraints for your PSF. The
default policies supplied with SPB are located in /opt/spb/data and are
named as follows:
• For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) - the default policy file is
112XPolicies_SD.xml
• For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) - the default policy file is
11XPolicies_SD.xml
Specifying the
Packaging Policy
Rules File
You have the option of specifying a packaging policy rules file other than
the default by using the -r option from the command line.
To launch SPB and specify the policy rules file, enter:
spb -r /opt/spb/data/<Myrules.xml>
NOTE If only a file name is given as the argument, SPB will look in the default
policy rules file directory for the specified file. You can also specify an
absolute path to the file.
For additional information on this and other SPB command line options,
refer to the spb (1M) manpage.
