Software Distributor Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (5900-2561, March 2013)

• autoselect_minimum_dependencies=false
Controls the automatic selection (marked for ask/config/copy/install/verify) of the first left-most
dependency in a list of OR dependencies that satisfies a requisite, when another dependency
in the list that also satisfies the requisite is explicitly selected by the user.
This option is ignored when the autoselect_dependencies option is set to false.
If false (default), the first left-most dependency in a list of OR dependencies that satisfies a
requisite is automatically selected, even when another dependency in the list that also satisfies
the requisite is explicitly selected.
If true, the first left-most dependency in a list of OR dependencies that satisfies a requisite is
not automatically selected when another dependency in the list that also satisfies the requisite
is explicitly selected.
Applies to swask, swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, and swverify.
• autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor attributes) for a
software object that a user selects for a swinstall or swcopy operation. When set to false,
the patches corresponding to the selected object are not automatically selected.
You can use the patch_filter= option in conjunction with autoselect_patches.
Applies to swask, swinstall and swcopy.
• autoselect_reference_bundles=true
If true, a bundle that is referenced is installed, copied, or removed along with the software
from which the reference is made.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swremove.
• check_contents=true
Normally set to true, verify mtime, size and cksum of files.
If false, the software can be installed without the bundle that contains it.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_contents_uncompressed=false
When a file is compressed, SD-UX uses it with check_contents and
check_contents_use_cksum to determine whether or not to compute and verify the
uncompressed checksum and size of a compressed file. (This option is ignored if the file is not
compressed.)
Since the timestamp of uncompressed contents is meaningless, this option verifies only the
timestamp of the file, whether it is compressed or not.
If set to true and the file is compressed, SD-UX uncompresses the file into memory and computes
the checksum and size of the uncompressed contents. Then, the checksum and size of the
compressed file and the checksum and size of the uncompressed contents are verified.
If check_contents_use_cksum=false, only the compressed and uncompressed sizes
are verified, not the checksums.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_contents_use_cksum=true
Normally true, calculates the checksum of the file being verified, checking the timestamp, size,
and checksum.
If false, turns off the checksum calculation. If check_contents is set to true, timestamp and
size checking is still performed.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_permissions=true
Normally set to true, verify owner, uid, group, gid and mode attributes of files.
