-x analysis_file=${user_dir}/cache/swa_analysis.xml
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: analyze report download depot
The file containing the raw analysis results, including a list of software that should be downloaded
from Hewlett-Packard in order to address the issues found by the analysis. Use this option to save the
results from a specific analysis, and later reuse those results in order to download the corresponding
software from HP. If you do not use the default location when the analysis file is created
(swa report
creates this file), be sure to specify that location when the analysis file is later used
(
swa get uses this file).
Possible values include any absolute or relative pathname with appropriate permissions.
The use of ${user_dir} at the beginning of this option value is substituted with the value of the
user_dir option (which defaults to $HOME/.swa ).
-x analyzers=QPK SEC PCW
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: analyze
Specifies a space-separated list (appropriately quoted for your shell if applicable) of analyzers to be
used. Each analyzer represents a different type of analysis that swa can perform. The supported
analyzers follow in two lists (generic and specific).
Generic analyzers:
CRIT patches that fix critical problems
PCW patches with critical warnings
PW patches with warnings (a superset of PCW)
QPK latest quality pack
SEC security bulletins that may apply
Specific analyzers:
CHAIN={patchID[,patchID]*} include patch or recommended successor
PATCH={patchID[,patchID]*} include specific patch.
Note: Use of CHAIN is generally preferred.
Note: This option is equivalent to -a but is suitable for use within an extended options file (
-X)or
configuration file.
-x catalog_max_age=24
Usage: Intermediate
Applicable steps: catalog
Specifies the age, in hours, of the locally-cached copy of the HP software catalog before a new local
copy should be obtained. If the local file becomes too old (based on the timestamp in the file), SWA
tries to obtain a copy of the catalog from the catalog_source location. It is possible that the
remote catalog is also too old (as determined by the timestamp in the file). For example, suppose
catalog_max_age=2 and catalog_source specifies a location that gets updated daily from
HP’s website. In this case, the downloaded catalog is used, but will be updated every time SWA
checks the catalog’s age.
Note: There are two special values,
0 and -1. The value of 0 signifies to always update the file. The
value of -1 signifies to never update the file, regardless of age.
-x catalog=${user_dir}/cache/swa_catalog.xml
Usage: Intermediate
Applicable steps: catalog analyze
The file containing a locally-cached copy of the catalog of available HP software and published security
bulletins.
Possible values include any absolute or relative pathname with appropriate permissions.
