• INDEX.gz or INFO.gz are not older than the corresponding uncompressed INDEX
or INFO files.
The uncompressed INDEX or INFO file is accessed by the source agent if any problem
occurs when accessing, transferring, or uncompressing the
INDEX.gz or INFO.gz file.
controller_source=
Specifies the location of a depot for the controller to access to resolve selections. Setting
this option can reduce network traffic between the controller and the target. Use the tar-
get selection syntax to specify the location: [
host][:][/directory]
The controller_source_option
supports the same syntax as the -s source
option. This option has no effect on which sources the target uses and is ignored when
used with the Interactive User Interface.
create_target_path=true
Causes the agent to create the target directory if it does not already exist. If set to
false, a new target directory is not created. This option can prevent the erroneous
creation of new target depots or new alternate root directories.
create_time_filter=0
For cumulative source depots, this option allows consistent software selections over time
by swlist, swcopy, and swinstall. The default of zero includes all bundles, pro-
ducts, subproducts, and filesets in the source depot as candidates for selection (and
autoselection of dependencies and patches), based on the software selections and other
options. When set to a time (specified as seconds from epoch), only those bundles, pro-
ducts, and filesets (and the subproducts in the product) with a create_time less than or
equal to the specified value are available for selection (or autoselection). To list the
create_time of bundles, products and filesets, use:
swlist -a create_time -a create_date
customer_id=
This number, also printed on the Software Certificate, is used to "unlock" protected
software and restrict its installation to a specific site or owner. It is entered using the
-x customer_id= option or by using the Interactive User Interface. The customer_id can
be used on any HP-UX 10.0X or later system.
defer_configure=false
(Applies only to swinstall.) Causes swinstall to automatically run configure
scripts for the software_selections after they are installed. (Alternate root directories are
not configured.)
When set to true,
swinstall does not run configure scripts. If you want to configure
the software later, you must run the swconfig command.
NOTES:
• Multiple versions of a product will not be automatically configured if another version
is already configured. Use the
swconfig command to configure multiple versions
separately.
• SD ignores this option when it installs software that causes a system reboot.
distribution_source_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default location of the source depot (when the source_type is directory ).
You can also use the host:path syntax. The -s option overrides this default.
distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw
(Applies only to swcopy.) Defines the default location of the target depot.
enforce_dependencies=true
Requires that all dependencies specified by the software_selections be resolved either in
the specified source, or at the target_selections themselves.
The
swinstall and swcopy commands will not proceed unless the dependencies have
also been selected or already exist at the target in the correct state (INSTALLED or
AVAILABLE). This prevents unusable software from being installed on the system. It
also ensures that depots contain usable sets of software.
