Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

• preserve_create_time=false
Preserves the original create time when you copy depots, which produces consistent
results when you use the copies. The default of false sets the create_time of software
bundles, products, and filesets equal to the time swcopy created the new depot.
When set to true, the create_time is set to that specified in the source depot from
which the current selections were copied. Note that using this option when copying
to a master depot can change the objects that are visible when you use the
create_time_filter option.
Applies to swcopy.
• preview=false
If true, run this command in preview mode only (complete the analysis phase and
exit). This option has the same effect as specifying -p on the command line.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swconfig.
• reboot_cmd=/sbin/reboot
This is the command called by the agent to reboot the system.
Applies to swagent.
• reconfigure=false
This option prevents software that is already in the configured state from being
reconfigured. If set to true, configured software can be reconfigured.
Applies to swconfig.
• recopy=false
Prevents SD from recopying (overwriting) an existing revision of a fileset. If set to
true, the fileset is recopied.
The reinstall and recopy options are synonymous.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• register_new_depot=true
Normally set to true, a newly created depot is registered on its host. This allows
other commands to automatically see this depot.
If set to false, new depots are not registered. This could allow you to create a private
depot on which to test, then later register it with swreg.
Applies only to swcopy.
• register_new_root=true
Causes swinstall to register a newly-created alternate root with the local
swagentd, which lets other SD-UX commands see this root.
If set to false, a new root is not automatically registered. (You can use the swreg
command to register the depot later.)
Applies only to swinstall.
