Following the include
-
filter element is a block element that is the heart of the tool and includes the
command(s) to be executed. Enter the ssa block element as shown below. It will copy
the file to
the specified destination and execute it there. In the example below, the HP Security Patch v.1
executable is given the filename
hpsecurity_patch.exe
.
<
ssa

block>
<command command

<destination>C:

</copy

NOTE:
The <destination> must be a directory that exists on the
Managed
system
. The default file permission value used by
DTF for a file copy operation is 755. If another permission is
to be used, an explicit file permission command such as
chmod
should be included in the copy block element for
security reasons. Refer to the
H
P SIM Technical Reference
Guide
for more information.
