swremove(1M) swremove(1M)
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.For
swremove, 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 exe-
cution 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
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
