D.2 Software Distributor Controller File System Structure
The controller file system structure is comprised of all files in agent (see “Agent File System Structure
” (page 273)) plus the following files:
Table 60 Controller File System Structure
Directory that contains the help files for on-line help/usr/lib/sw/help
Directory that contains the description files used by
the GUIs
/usr/lib/sw/ui
X11 resource definitions for the GUIs/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
Message catalogs for the daemon, agent, and
shared messages
/usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG/sw*.cat
Data files that are conditionally copied into
/var/adm/sw.
/usr/newconfig/var/adm/sw
Directory that contains all the data for jobs/var/adm/sw/queue
Controller logfile/var/adm/sw/sw<task>.log
System-level defaults.hosts file for the GUIs/var/adm/sw/defaults.hosts
Key file that enables the remote operations GUI/var/adm/sw/.sdkey
Location of the cache file for each target host/var/adm/sw/target_hosts
Directory that stores the GUI user view preferences/var/adm/sw/ui/preferences
D.3 Installed Products Database
Software Distributor commands keep track of installations, products, and filesets on the system with
the Installed Product Database (IPD). Located in the directory /var/adm/sw/products, the IPD
is a series of files and subdirectories that contain information about all the products that are installed
under the root directory (/). This information includes all the attributes describing the products,
filesets, and files. The swinstall, swconfig, and swremove tasks automatically add to, change,
and delete this IPD information as the commands are executed.
You cannot manually edit the IPD files, but swmodify lets you change local IPD and local depot
catalog information.
