Options Listed Alphabetically
Appendix A458
• target_type
See media_type.
• uncompress_cmd=
This is the command called by the source agent to uncompress files
when installing, copying or packaging.
This command processes files that were stored on the media in
compressed format. If the compression_type of the file is gzip, the
internal compression (funzip) is used instead of the external
uncompress command.
Applies to swagent and swpackage.
• uncompress_files=false
When set to true, files are uncompressed using the current
uncompress_cmd before storing them on the target depot.
Only one of the uncompress_files and compress_files options
may be set to true during a swpackage session.
The uncompress_files option may not be set to true if
package_in_place is set to true or if the media_type is set to tape.
Applies to swcopy and swpackage.
• use_alternate_source=false
At the default value of false, swinstall or swcopy begins an analysis
or task with a request that includes information describing the
source binding and depot path for the local host to use as the
software source.
If true, the local host uses its own configured value. On the local host,
the agent’s configured value for alternate_source is specified in
host:/path format. If this value contains only a path component (for
example, alternate_source=:/path), the agent applies this path to
the file system of its own local host.
If only the host component exists (for example,
alternate_source=host), the agent applies the controller-supplied
path to this host. If there is no configured value at all for the
alternate_source, the agent applies the controller-supplied path to
its own local host.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
