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

Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
• enforce_kernbld_failure = true
Controls whether or not a failure in either of the kernel build steps (system_prep and
mk_kernel) is fatal to the install session. A failure to build a kernel causes the install process
to exit if in non-interactive mode, or to suspend if in an interactive mode.
If set to false, a failure return from a kernel build process is ignored, and the install session
proceeds. The currently running kernel remains in place.
Applies only to swinstall.
• enforce_locatable=true
When set to the default value of true, this option generates an error if a command tries to
relocate a non-relocatable fileset. (Relocatable filesets are packaged with the
is_relocatable attribute set to true.) When set to false, the usual error handling process
is overridden, and SD-UX permits the command to relocate the fileset.
Note that although this option is defined for swverify, there is no swverify behavior associated
with the option.
Applies to swinstall and swverify.
• enforce_scripts=true
Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If true, and a script returns an error, the
command halts, and an error message appears reporting that the execution failed. If false,
script-generated errors are treated as warnings, and the command attempts to continue. A
warning message appears and reports that the command was successful. Where appropriate,
the message identifies the phase in which the error occurred (configure/unconfigure,
preinstall/postinstall, preremove/postremove, etc.).
Applies to swask, swconfig, swinstall and swremove.
• enforce_selections=false
This option controls the behavior of the SD-UX commands by checking the
software_selections that are available. When set to false, the SD-UX command
proceeds if one or more software_selections are available. When set to true, the
SD-UX command proceeds only if all of the software_selections are available. This
behavior applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swverify commands.
• files=
When adding or deleting file objects, this option can list the path names of those files. There
is no supplied default. File objects being added can also be specified in the given product
specification file.
If there is more than one path name, they must be separated by white space and surrounded
by double-quotes.
Applies only to swmodify.
• fix=false
Controls whether or not to run vendor-specific scripts to correct and report problems on installed
software. Fix scripts can create missing directories, correct file modifications (mode, owner,
group, major, minor), and recreate symbolic links.
If false (default), fix scripts are not run.
If true, fix scripts are run.
Applies to swverify.
• follow_symlinks=false
Do not follow symbolic links that exist in the packaging source; instead, package them as
symlinks.
Applies only to swpackage.
