Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

Save Software Group saves the current list of marked software as a group.
SD stores the group definition in $HOME/.sw/software/ or a directory you
specify.
Show Description of Software (available only for a single item highlighted
in the object list) displays more information on the selected software.
3. Select ActionsInstall to start the analysis (preview) step. The Analysis dialog
appears.
Step III: Analysis (Preview)
In this step, SD-UX analyzes the software you have selected.
The Remove Analysis dialog displays status information about the analysis process.
When the analysis is complete and the host status shows Ready, click OK to start the
actual installation (see “Step IV: Removal” (page 107)). The Analysis dialog is then
replaced by the Remove Window.
(If you started a preview session, the removal stops after the analysis. Clicking OK
returns you to the Software Selection window.)
Figure 3-3 Remove Analysis dialog
After analysis, if any of the selected software can be removed, the status indicates
Ready or Ready with Warnings. If none of the selected software can be removed,
the status indicates Excluded from task.
The Products Scheduled column shows the number of products ready for removal
out of all products selected. The total products ready includes those products that are:
Marked because of dependencies
Marked inside of bundles
Partially and wholly marked
A product may be automatically excluded from the removal if an error occurs with
that product. Removal cannot proceed if the host target is excluded from the removal.
If the host fails the analysis, a warning dialog appears.
