Software Distributor (SD-UX) Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (762797-001, March 2014)

Output of Logfile Messages
The log file /var/adm/sw/swpackage.log captures output from the swpackage session.
• Message logging by default sends verbose messages to stdout.
(Setting the verbose option to 0 reduces the amount of information in stdout.)
• Message logging also sends errors and warnings to stderr.
• No logfile messages are written in preview (-p) mode.
• The logfile is equal to stdout plus stderr.
Here is a sample log:

Packaging Tasks and Examples
To package the software products defined in the PSF product.psf into the distribution depot
/var/spool/sw and preview the task at the verbose level before actually performing it, type:
swpackage -p -v -s product.psf @ /var/spool/sw
Registering Depots Created by swpackage
When a new depot is created by swpackage, it is not automatically registered with the local
host’s swagentd daemon.
To verify that the depot is registered, type:
swlist -l depot @ MyDepot
To register the depot, you must execute the swreg command:
swreg -l depot depot_to_register
Registering a depot makes it generally available as a source for swinstall and swcopy tasks.
