swmodify Tasks and Examples
Here are some examples of how you can use swmodify to change catalog
files or IPDs:
Adding Information to the IPD
To add descriptions of files /tmp/a, /tmp/b, and /tmp/c to an existing
fileset:
swmodify -x files=/tmp/a /tmp/b /tmp/c PRODUCT.FILESET
If a control script adds new files to the installed file system, the script
can use swmodify to make a record of the new files.
Changing Existing IPD Information
To create some new bundle definitions for products in an existing depot:
swmodify -d -s new_bundle_definitions \
\* @ /mfg/master_depot
If a product provides a more complex configuration process, a script can
set the fileset’s state to configured upon successful completion.
