Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

• autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor
attributes) for a software object that a user selects for a swinstall or swcopy
operation. When set to false, the patches corresponding to the selected object are
not automatically selected.
You can use the patch_filter= option in conjunction with
autoselect_patches.
Applies to swask, swinstall and swcopy.
• autoselect_reference_bundles=true
If true, a bundle that is referenced is installed, copied, or removed along with the
software from which the reference is made.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swremove.
• check_contents=true
Normally set to true, verify mtime, size and cksum of files.
If false, the software can be installed without the bundle that contains it.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_contents_uncompressed=false
When a file is compressed, SD-UX uses it with check_contents and
check_contents_use_cksum to determine whether or not to compute and
verify the uncompressed checksum and size of a compressed file. (This option is
ignored if the file is not compressed.)
Since the timestamp of uncompressed contents is meaningless, this option verifies
only the timestamp of the file, whether it is compressed or not.
If set to true and the file is compressed, SD-UX uncompresses the file into memory
and computes the checksum and size of the uncompressed contents. Then, the
checksum and size of the compressed file and the checksum and size of the
uncompressed contents are verified.
If check_contents_use_cksum=false, only the compressed and uncompressed
sizes are verified, not the checksums.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_contents_use_cksum=true
Normally true, calculates the checksum of the file being verified, checking the
timestamp, size, and checksum.
If false, turns off the checksum calculation. If check_contents is set to true,
timestamp and size checking is still performed.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_permissions=true
Normally set to true, verify owner, uid, group, gid and mode attributes of files.
