codeword=

Provides the "codeword" needed to unlock protected HP CD-ROM software.

Some HP software products are shipped on CD-ROM as "protected" products. That is, they

cannot be installed or copied unless a "codeword" and "customer ID" are provided. The

codeword is found on the CD-ROM certiﬁcate which you received from HP. You may use

this default speciﬁcation on the command line or the SD-UX interactive user interface to

enter the codeword.

This default stores the codeword for future reference; it needs to be entered only once. If a

new HP product is purchased and a previous codeword has already been entered for that

CD-ROM, just enter the new codeword as usual and the codewords will be merged inter-

nally.

NOTE: For HP-UX B.10.10 and later systems, SD searches the

.codewords ﬁle on the

server that is providing protected software to other hosts. It looks for valid

customer_id/codeword pairs. In doing so, SD eliminates the need to enter codewords and

customer_ids on every host that is "pulling" the software.

To properly store the customer_id/codeword for a CD-ROM, run

swinstall -p or

swcopy -p on the host serving the CD-ROM. After the codeword has been stored, clients

installing or copying software using that host and CD-ROM as a source will no longer

require a codeword or customer_id.

create_time_filter=0

For cumulative source depots, this option allows consistent software selections over time by

swlist, swcopy, and swinstall. The default of zero includes all bundles, products,

subproducts, and ﬁlesets in the source depot as candidates for selection (and autoselection

of dependencies and patches), based on the software selections and other options. When set

to a time (speciﬁed as seconds from epoch), only those bundles, products, and ﬁlesets (and

the subproducts in the product) with a create_time less than or equal to the speciﬁed value

are available for selection (or autoselection). To list the create_time of bundles, products

and ﬁlesets, use:

swlist -a create_time -a create_date

customer_id=

This number, also printed on the Software Certiﬁcate, is used to "unlock" protected

software and restrict its installation to a speciﬁc site or owner. It is entered using the

-x

customer_id= option or by using the interactive user interface. The customer_id can be

used on any HP-UX 10.X or later system.

distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw

Deﬁnes the default location of the target depot.

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

the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved relative to the location of the

alternate root. This option does not affect where software is installed, only the IPD loca-

tion.

This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software applica-

tions by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications

using a different IPD.

Caution: use a speciﬁc

installed_software_catalog to manage a speciﬁc applica-

tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
