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

Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• return_warning_exitcode=false
This option controls the exit code returned by SD's controller commands. It is applicable only
for a single target operation and is ignored when multiple targets are used. When set to the
default value of false, swinstall returns:
◦ 0 If there were no errors, with or without warnings.
◦ 1 If there were errors.
When set to true, swinstall returns:
◦ 0 If there were no warnings, and no errors.
◦ 1 If there were errors.
◦ 2 If there were warnings but no errors.
• reuse_short_job_numbers=true
When assigning job ID numbers, SD-UX uses numbers less than 10,000. Typically, old jobs
are removed long before job number 9,999 is reached, so the job number quickly rolls over
from 9999 back to 1. When you execute a large numbers of jobs that are not removed before
the ID numbers reach 9,999, SD-UX may have performance delays while it searches for unused
job numbers.
Setting reuse_short_job_numbers to false causes SD-UX to begin using numbers above
10,000. This avoids possible searching delays and lets the job ID numbers increase to 8 digits
(99,999,999) if necessary. (This prevents roll-over from 9999 back to 1, so is usually not
desirable.)
See also the autoremove_job option.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swverify.
• rpc_binding_info=ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121] ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]
Determines on what protocol sequence(s) and endpoint(s) the swagentd daemon listens. If the
connection fails for one protocol sequence, the next is attempted. SD-UX supports both the tcp
and udp protocols on most platforms.
The value can have the following form:
◦ A DCE string binding containing a protocol sequence and an endpoint (a port number).
The syntax is:
protocol_sequence: [ endpoint ]
◦ The name of a DCE protocol sequence with no endpoint specified. This syntax is:
ncadg_ip_udp or ncacn_ip_tcp
Since no endpoint is specified, the DCE endpoint mapper rpcd must be running and is
used to find the endpoint registered by swagentd
◦ The literal string all. This entry means to use all protocol sequences supported by the
DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC) runtime. It should be the only entry in the list. The rpcd
must be running.
Applies to all commands except swask, swmodify, and swpackage.
• rpc_binding_info_alt_source=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]
Defines the protocol sequence(s) and endpoint(s) used when the agent attempts to contact an
alternate source depot specified by the alternate_source option. SD-UX supports both
the udp(ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]) and tcp(ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121])protocol
sequence/endpoint.
Applies to swagent.
