Normally set to true, verify that the prerequisites and corequisites of filesets are
being met.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_scripts=true
Normally set to true, run the vendor-supplied verify scripts when verifying
software.
Applies only to swverify.
• check_volatile=false
When set to true, swverify verifies installed files that have the is_volatile
attribute set. By default, installed volatile files do not have their attributes verified
because they are intended to be modified by the customer.
Applies only to swverify.
• codeword=
Lets you to enter a codeword for the HP-UX licensing procedure. Once entered
you need not re-enter the codeword. See “Working with Protected Software ”
(page 31) for more information.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swlist.
• compress_cmd=/usr/contrib/bin/gzip
Specifies the command called by the source agent to compress files before installing,
copying, or packaging.
If you set the compression_type option to a value other than gzip or compress,
you must change this path.
Applies to swagent and swpackage.
• compress_files=false
Controls file compression during transfer. When set to false, files are not
compressed before transfer from a remote source.
If set to true, SD-UX compresses files before network transfer if they’re not already
compressed. For swinstall, the files are uncompressed after network transfer.
If set to true during swcopy or swpackage, the resulting depots are smaller,
unless you also set uncompress_files to true.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
• compress_index=false
Enhances performance on slower networks, although it may increase disk space
usage due to a larger Installed Products Database and depot catalog. The default
of false does not compress INDEX and INFO files. When set to true, INDEX and
INFO files are compressed.
