Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)
swmodify will select all of the software defined
in the PSF. The software selected from a PSF is
then applied to the target_selection, with
the selected software objects either added to,
modified in, or deleted from it.
If a PSF is not specified, then
software_selections must be specified.
swmodify will select the
software_selections from the software
defined in the given (or default)
target_selection.
The product specification file (PSF) for swmodify
uses the same swpackage PSF format as defined
in “Creating a Product Specification File (PSF) ”
(page 224).
-S session_file
Run the command based on values saved from
a previous installation session, as defined in
session_file. See “Session Files” (page 52).
-x option=value Sets a command option to value and overrides
default values or a values in options files. See
“Changing Command Options ” (page 102).
-X option_file
Read session options and behaviors from
option_file. See “Changing Command
Options ” (page 102).
software_selections
The software objects for which information will
be modified. See “Software Selections” (page 47).
target_selection A single, local target_selection. (See “Target
Selections” (page 49).) If you are operating on
the primary root, you do not need to specify a
target_selection because the target / is
assumed.
When operating on a software depot, the
target_selection specifies the path to that
depot. If the -d option is specified and no
target_selection is specified, then the
default depot_directory is assumed.
