swremove(1M) swremove(1M)

(Hewlett-Packard Company)

autoselect_dependents=false

Automatically selects all software that depends on the speciﬁed software. When set to

true, and any software that other software depends on is selected for removal,

swremove automatically selects that other software. If set to false, automatic selec-

tions are not made to resolve requisites.

autoselect_reference_bundles=true

If true, bundles that have the is_sticky attribute set to true will be automatically

removed when the last of its contents is removed. If false, the sticky bundles will not be

automatically removed.

compress_index=false

Determines whether SD commands create compressed INDEX and INFO catalog ﬁles when

writing to target depots or roots. The default of false does not create compressed ﬁles.

When set to true, SD creates compressed and uncompressed INDEX and INFO ﬁles. The

compressed ﬁles are named INDEX.gz and INFO.gz, and reside in the same directories as

the uncompressed ﬁles.

Compressed ﬁles can enhance performance on slower networks, although they may

increase disk space usage due to a larger Installed Products Database and depot catalog.

SD controllers and target agents for HP-UX 11.01 and higher automatically load the

compressed INDEX and INFO ﬁles from the source agent when:

• The source agent supports this feature.

• INDEX.gz or INFO.gz exist on the source depot.

• INDEX.gz or INFO.gz are not older than the corresponding uncompressed INDEX or

INFO ﬁles.

The uncompressed INDEX or INFO ﬁle is accessed by the source agent if any problem

occurs when accessing, transferring, or uncompressing the INDEX.gz or INFO.gz ﬁle.

controller_source=

Speciﬁes the location of a depot for the controller to access to resolve selections. Setting this

option can reduce network trafﬁc between the controller and the target. Use the target

selection syntax to specify the location:

[host][:][path]

This option has no effect on which sources the target uses and is ignored when used with

the Interactive User Interface.

distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw

Deﬁnes the default location of the target depot.

enforce_dependencies=true

Requires that all dependencies speciﬁed by the software_selections be resolved at the

target_selections.Forswremove, if a selected ﬁleset has dependents (i.e. other software

depends on the ﬁleset) and they are not selected, do not remove the selected ﬁlesets. If set

to false, dependencies will still be checked, but not enforced.

enforce_scripts=true

Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If true, and a script returns an

error, the swremove operation halts. An error message appears reporting that the execu-

tion phase failed. If false, all script errors are treated as warnings, and swremove

attempts to continue operation. A warning message appears reporting that the execution

succeeded. The message wording identiﬁes whether the failure occurred in the

conﬁgure/unconﬁgure, checkremove, preremove, or postremove phases.

force_single_target=false

This option applies only to the Interactive User Interface when no SD-OV license is in effect

on a system that is a diskless server. It causes swremove to run in a single target mode,

even though a diskless server normally causes swremove to run in multi-target mode.

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
