Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

For each product object specified, swpackage requires only the product and tag

keywords, plus one or more fileset definitions. For each bundle specified, swpackage

requires the bundle, tag and contents keywords.

product

Required keyword that begins the product specification.

tag

The product’s identifier (short name).

architecture

The target system on which the product or bundle will run.

Provides a human-readable summary of the four uname attributes

(machine_type, os_name, os_release and os_version),

which define the exact target system(s) the product supports.

bundle

Required keyword that begins the bundle specification.

category_tag

A repeatable tag-based attribute identifying a set of categories of

which the software object is a member. This is used as a selection

mechanism and can be used independent of patches. The default

value is an empty list or patch if the is_patch attribute is set to

true. Like vendor_tag, this attribute can be used as a pointer to

a category object that contains additional information about the

category (for example, a one-line title definition and a description

of the category).

NOTE: The category tag patch is reserved. When the is_patch

product attribute is set to true, a built-in category_tag attribute

of value patch is automatically included with the product

definition.

contents The list of fully qualified (all version distinguishing attributes

included) software specs for the bundle.

A multi-line description of the product’s copyright; either the text

itself (in double quotes) or a pointer to the filename that contains

the text.

description

A multi-paragraph description of the product; either the text itself

(within double-quotes) or a pointer to the filename that contains

the text.
