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.
Applies to swinstall, swcopy, swpackage, swmodify, swconfig, and
swremove.
compression_type=gzip
Defines the default compression type used by the agent when it compresses files during or
after transmission. If uncompress_files
is set to false, the compression_type
is
recorded for each file compressed so that the correct uncompression can later be applied
during a
swinstall,ora swcopy with uncompress_files
set to true. The
compress_cmd specified must produce files with the compression_type
specified.
The
uncompress_cmd must be able to process files of the
compression_type
specified unless the format is gzip, which is uncompressed by the internal uncompressor
(funzip).
Applies to swagent.
config_cleanup_cmd=/usr/lbin/sw/config_clean
Defines the script called by the agent to perform release-specific configure cleanup steps.
Applies to swagent.
control_files=
When adding or deleting control file objects, this option lists the tags of those control files.
There is no supplied default. If there is more than one tag, they must be separated by whi-
tespace and surrounded by quotes.
Applies to swmodify.
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 an
Interactive User Interface.
Applies to swcopy, swconfig, swinstall , swremove, and swverify.
create_target_acls=true
If creating a target depot, swpackage will create Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the
depot (if it is new) and all products being packaged into it. If set to false, and if the user
is the superuser, swpackage will not create ACLs. (The swpackage command never
creates ACLs when software is packaged on to a distribution tape.)
Applies to swpackage.
create_target_path=true
Causes the agent to create the target directory if it does not already exist. If set to false,
a new target directory will not be created. This option can prevent the erroneous creation
