User's Guide

sw_category cat-tag-string { description = string }
The sw_category definition provides a grouping mechanism for
sw_sel's to reference. The user interface uses the sw_category
to help the user browse the software more easily. There are six
values of
cat-tag-string that the user interface treats special.
Software that are in these groups are represented in special
locations and by special methods in the user interface. These
values are: "HPUXBaseOS", "HPUXEnvironments", "Languages",
"LanguagesUI", "OpEnvironments", and "UserLicenses" .The only
attribute associated with a sw_category is a description.
The following is what is special about these categories:
 OpEnvironments— OEs defined in a configuration are available for selection in the Ignite-UX
GUI on the Basic tab in the Environments: list. They are not selectable using the Software
tab.
 HPUXBaseOS— used for the HPUXBase32 and HPUXBase64 bundles that are included in HP-
UX B.11.11. In HP-UX B.11.23, there is a single HPUXBaseOS bundle that is 64-bit only (the tag
and category have the same name). These bundles also control the setting of _hp_os_bitness
in a core configuration file.
 Languages— In HP-UX B.11.11 and later, these were pseudo-bundles that when selected cause
LanguagesUI category bundles to get installed.
 LanguagesUI— These bundles are not shown at all using the user interface. Instead, they are
automatically selected based upon the bundles with the sw_category tag set to Languages.
Take, for example, Swedish from the B.11.11 core configuration file:
init sw_sel "Swedish"{
description="Swedish CDE Environment"
sw_source="core"
sw_category="Languages"
} = FALSE
init sw_sel "CDE-Swedish"{
description="Swedish CDE Environment"
sw_source="core"
sw_category="LanguagesUI"
sd_software_list="CDE-Swedish,r=B.11.11,a=HP-
UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP"
load_with_all="Swedish"
impacts="/usr" 70992K
impacts="/opt" 9098K
impacts="/sbin" 54K
impacts="/" 55K
visible_if=FALSE
locale={"sv_SE.iso88591:Swedish","sv_SE.utf8:Swedish",
"SET_NULL_LOCALE:English","ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT","C:English"}
} = FALSE
When Swedish is selected, the bundle CDE-Swedish is automatically selected for installation
because it has the configuration load_with_any set to "Swedish".
 UserLicenses— This category is no longer very relevant with HP-UX B.11.11 and later
releases of HP-UX. An unlimited user license is provided as standard.
