Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

Applies to swinstall and swremove.
• select_local=true
Normally set to true, selects the default depot or installation directory of the local
host as the target of the command.
Applies to swacl, swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swlist, swreg, swremove,
swverify.
• show_superseded_patches=false
If false, swlist will not display superseded patches. To see them, you must set
this option to true. Even if you explicitly swlist the superseded patch, it will not
display unless this option is true.
Applies only to swlist.
• software=
Defines the default software_selections.
There is no supplied default. If there is more than one software_selection,
they must be surrounded by brackets { } or quotes. Software is usually specified
in a software_selections input file, as options on the command line or in the GUI
or TUI.
Applies to all commands except swreg.
• software_view=products
Indicates which software view is to be used in the GUI. It can be set to products,
all_bundles, or a bundle category tag (shows only bundles of that category).
The default view is all_bundles plus products that are not part of a bundle.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, swlist and swremove.
• source=
Specify a source to automatically bypass the GUI and CLI source selection dialog
box. This has the same effect as the -s source command line option. Specify the
source using the following syntax:
[path]
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• source_cdrom=/SD_CDROM
Defines the default location of the source CD-ROM. The syntax is:
[host][:][path]
Applies only to swinstall.
• source_depot_audit=true
If both source and target machine are updated to SD-UX revision B.11.00 or later,
the system administrator at the source depot machine can set this option to track
which user pulls which software from a depot on the source machine and when
the software is pulled.
