Administration Guide, availableat the http://docs.hp.com web site.
See also the installed_software_catalog and run_as_superuser options.
ask=true
Executes the request script, if one is associated with the selected software, and stores the
user response in a file named response.
If ask=as_needed, the swask command first determines if a response file already
exists in the catalog and executes the request script only when a response file is absent.
autoselect_dependencies=true
Controls the automatic selection of prerequisite and corequisite software that is not expli-
citly selected by the user. When set to true, requisite software will be automatically
selected for configuration. When set to false, requisite software which is not explicitly
selected will not be automatically selected for configuration.
autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor attributes) for
a software object that a user selects. The patch_filter option can be used in conjunc-
tion with autoselect_patches
to limit which patches will be selected. Requires
patches that are in an enhanced SD format. Patches not in enhanced format will not
respond to
autoselect_patches
.
enforce_scripts=true
Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If true, swask stops and an error
message appears. The message gives the script location and says execution cannot proceed
until the problem is fixed. If false, all script errors are treated as warnings, and swask
attempts to continue operation. A message appears giving the script location and saying
that execution will proceed.
installed_software_catalog=products
Defines the directory path where the Installed Products Database (IPD) is stored. This
information describes installed software. When set to an absolute path, this option defines
the location of the IPD. When this option contains a relative path, the SD controller
appends the value to the value specified by the admin_directory
option to determine
the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved relative to the location of the
alternate root. This option does not affect where software is installed, only the IPD loca-
tion.
This option permits the simultaneous installationand removal of multiple software applica-
tions by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications
using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific
installed_software_catalog
to manage a specific applica-
tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the
admin_directory and run_as_superuser options, which control SD’s
nonprivileged mode. (This mode is intended only for managing applications that are spe-
cially designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating
system or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com web site.)
log_msgid=0
Controls the log level for the events logged to the command log file, the target agent log
file, and the source agent log file by prepending identification numbers to log file messages:
0 No such identifiers are prepended (default).
1 Applies to ERROR messages only.
2 Applies to ERROR and WARNING messages.
3 Applies to ERROR, WARNING, and NOTE messages.
4 Applies to ERROR, WARNING, NOTE, and certain other log file messages.
logdetail=false
Controls the amount of detail written to the logfile. When set to true, this option adds
detailed task information (such as options specified, progress statements, and additional
summary information) to the logfile. This information is in addition to log information con-
trolled by the loglevel option.
