swconfig(1M) swconfig(1M)
/var/adm/sw/defaults the system-wide default values.
$HOME/.swdefaults the user-specific default values.
Values must be specified in the defaults file using this syntax:
[command_name.]option=value
The optional command_name prefix denotes one of the SD commands. Using the prefix limits the change in
the default value to that command. If you leave the prefix off, the change applies to all commands.
You can also override default values from the command line with the -x or -X options:
command -x option=value
command -X option_file
The following section lists all of the keywords supported by the swlist commands. If a default value
exists, it is listed after the "=".
The policy options that apply to swconfig are:
admin_directory=/var/adm/sw
(for normal mode)
admin_directory=/var/home/LOGNAME/sw
(for nonprivileged mode)
The location for SD logfiles and the default parent directory for the installed software cata-
log. The default value is
/var/adm/sw for normal SD operations. When SD operates in
nonprivileged mode (that is, when the run_as_superuser
default option is set to
true):
• The default value is forced to /var/home/LOGNAME/sw
.
• The path element
LOGNAME is replaced with the name of the invoking user, which SD
reads from the system password file.
• If you set the value of this option to HOME/path, SD replaces HOME with the invoking
user’s home directory (from the system password file) and resolves path relative to that
directory. For example,
HOME/my_admin
resolves to the my_admin directory in
your home directory.
• If you set the value of the
installed_software_catalog
default option to a
relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of this option.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
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 Distributor
Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com web site.
See also the
installed_software_catalog
and run_as_superuser options.
agent_auto_exit=true
Causes the target agent to automatically exit after Execute phase, or after a failed Analysis
phase. This is forced to false when the controller is using an interactive UI, or when -p
(preview) is used. This enhances network reliability and performance. The default is
true - the target agent will automatically exit when appropriate. If set to false, the
target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.
agent_timeout_minutes=10000
Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the specified time. This can be used
to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can take as
long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the longest
period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation, a value
between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is recom-
mended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7 days.
allow_incompatible=false
Requires that the software products which are being configured be "compatible" with the
target selections. (All of the target selections must match the list of supported systems
defined for each selected product.) If set to true, target compatibility is not enforced.
allow_multiple_versions=false
Prevents the configuration of another, independent version of a product when a version
already is configured at the target.
