• job_title=

When running large numbers of jobs, you may want to add more information to help you

identify a specific job. Providing a value for this lets you add an ASCII string that will be

displayed along with the ID and other job attributes when you invoke swjob or the job browser.

Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swverify.

• kernel_build_cmd=/usr/sbin/mk_kernel

This is the script called by the agent for kernel building.

Applies only to swagent.

• kernel_path=/stand/vmunix

The path to the system’s bootable kernel. It is passed to the kernel_build_cmd via the

SW_KERNEL_PATH environment variable.

Applies only to swagent.

• layout_version=1.0

Specifies the POSIX layout version to which the SD-UX commands conform when writing

distributions and swlist output. Supported values are 1.0 (default) and 0.8. SD-UX for HP-UX

version 11.10 and later can read or write either version.

SD-UX object and attribute syntax conforms to layout version 1.0 of the IEEE Standard 1387.2,

Software Administration (POSIX). SD-UX still accepts the keyword names associated with the

older layout version, but you should only use layout version 0.8 to create distributions readable

by older versions of SD-UX.

Layout version 1.0 adds significant functionality not recognized by systems supporting only

version 0.8, including:

◦ Category class objects (formerly the category and category_title attributes within

the bundle or product class).

◦ Patch-handling attributes, including applied_patches, is_patch, and patch_state.

◦ The fileset architecture attribute at the fileset level, which permits you to specify the

architecture of the target system on which the software will run.

In addition to adding new attributes and objects, layout version 1.0 changes the following

preexisting 0.8 objects and attributes:

◦ Replaces the depot media_sequence_number attribute for the media object with a

sequence number attribute.

◦ Replaces the vendor definition within products and bundles with a vendor_tag attribute

and a corresponding vendor object defined outside the product or bundle.

◦ Pluralizes the corequisite and prerequisite fileset attributes.

◦ Changes the timestamp attribute to mod_time.

Applies to swcopy, swlist, swmodify and swpackage.

• level=

Specifies a software level for swacl, swlist and swreg.

For swlist, this option lists all objects down to the specified level. Both the specified levels

and the depth of the specified software_selections control the depth of the swlist
