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

• system_prep_cmd=/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep
The kernel build preparation script called by the agent. This script must do any necessary
preparation so that control scripts can correctly configure the kernel that is about to be built.
Applies only to swagent.
• targets=
There is no supplied default (see also select_local). If there is more than one target, they
must be separated by spaces. Targets are usually specified in a target input file, as options
on the command line or in the GUI.
Applies to all commands.
• target_directory
See distribution_target_directory.
• target_tape
See distribution_target_serial.
• 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.
• verbose=
By default, the command sends output to stdout for task summary messages. Alternatively,
the verbose option can be set to 0 for session level messages (no output to stdout) or (for
swpackage and swmodify) to 2 for file level messages.
