swinstall
continues to the next fileset in the product or the product
postinstall
script.
When set to true, this option also affects scripts. For example, if a preinstall script fails,
this option causes the corresponding unpreinstall script to execute. See the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide for complete information.
Applies only to
swinstall.
autorecover_product=false
This option permits automatic recovery of original product files if an installation error
occurs. The cost is a temporary increase in disk space and slower performance. The default
value of false causes swinstall to remove any existing product files as a product is
updated. If an error occurs during installation (e.g. network failure), then the original files
are lost, and you must reinstall the product.
If set to true, all files for a product are saved as backup copies until the entire product
finishes loading. Then the files are removed. If an error occurs during installation, the ori-
ginal product files are replaced, and
swinstall exits.
When set to
true, this option also affects scripts. For example, if a preinstall script fails,
this option causes the corresponding unpreinstall script to execute. See Software Distribu-
tor Administration Guide for complete information.
Applies only to
swinstall.
autoremove_job=false
Controls automatic job removal of completed jobs. If the job is automatically removed, job
information (job status or target log files) cannot be queried with swjob.
autoselect_dependencies=true
Controls the automatic selection of prerequisite, corequisite, and exrequisite software that
SD automatically selects. When set to
true, the requisite software is automatically
selected for configuration. When set to
false, requisite software which is not explicitly
selected is not automatically selected for configuration. When set to
as_needed,
autoselected dependencies are operated only if the dependency is not already met on the
target.
Applies to
swconfig, swcopy, swinstall , and swverify.
autoselect_dependents=false
Controls whether or not SD automatically selects dependent software. A dependent fileset
has established either a prerequisite, corequisite, or exrequisite on the selected fileset.
Specifying true causes SD to automatically select dependent software. The default value
of false prevents SD from automatically selecting dependent software.
Applies to swconfig and swremove.
autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor attributes) for
a software object that a user selects for a swinstall or swcopy operation. When set to
false, the patches corresponding to the selected object will not be automatically selected.
The patch_filter option can be used in conjunction with autoselect_patches.
Applies to swask, swinstall , and swcopy.
autoselect_reference_bundles=true
If true, bundles that are sticky will be automatically installed, or copied, along with
the software it is made up of. If false, the software can be installed, or copied, without
automatically including sticky bundles that contain it.
For swremove, if set to true, any bundle with the is_sticky attribute set to true is
removed automatically when the last of its contents is removed. If set to false, the
sticky bundles will not be automatically removed.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, and swremove.
check_contents=true
Causes swverify to verify the time stamp, size, and checksum attributes of files. If set
to false, these attributes are not verified.
