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

The behavior is as follows:
◦ If neither global_srp nor local_srp_list option is specified, swinstall will
install on the global view and all system containers.
◦ If global_srp=true, and local_srp_list option is not specified, swinstall will install
only on the global view.
◦ If global_srp=true, and local_srp_list is set, swinstall will install on the global
view and the listed system containers.
◦ If local_srp_list is set, and global_srp option is not specified, swinstall will
install only in the listed system containers.
Applies only to swinstall, swremove, and swconfig.
• include_file_revisions=false
Normally set to false, controls whether swpackage includes each source file’s revision attribute
in the product(s) being packaged. Because this operation is very time consuming, the revision
attributes are not included by default.
A value of true for this keyword causes swpackage to execute the what and possibly the
ident commands (in that order) to try to determine a file’s revision.
Applies only to swpackage.
• install_cleanup_cmd= /usr/lbin/sw/install_clean
The script called by the agent to perform release-specific install cleanup steps immediately
after the last postinstall script has been run. For an OS update, this script should at least remove
commands that were saved by the install_setup script.
Applies only to swagent.
• install_setup_cmd=/usr/lbin/sw/install_setup
Defines a script called by the agent to perform release-specific install preparation. For an OS
update, this script should copy commands needed for the checkinstall, preinstall, and postinstall
scripts to an accessible location while the OS updates the system commands.
This script is executed before any kernel filesets are loaded.
Applies only to swagent.
• installed_software_catalog=products
Defines the directory path where the Installed Products Database (IPD, information describing
the installed software) is stored. When set to an absolute path, this option defines the location
of the IPD. When this option contains a relative path, the controller appends the path to the
path specified by the admin_directory option to determine the path to the IPD. For alternate
roots, this path is resolved relative to the location of the alternate root. (This option does not
affect where software is installed, only the IPD location.)
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software applications
by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications using
a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific installed_software_catalog to manage a specific application.
SD-UX does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the admin_directory option.
Applies to swacl, swask, swconfig, swinstall, swlist, swmodify, swremove, and
swverify.
• job_title=
When running large numbers of jobs, you may want to add more information to help you
identify a specific job. Providing a value for this lets you add an ASCII string that will be
displayed along with the ID and other job attributes when you invoke swjob or the job browser.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swverify.
