the requisite is explicitly selected by the user.
When set to
true, the first left-most dependency in a list of OR dependencies that
satisfies a requisite is not automatically selected when another dependency in the list
that also satisfies the requisite is explicitly selected. If set to
false, the first left-most
dependency in a list of OR dependencies that satisfies a requisite is automatically
selected even when another dependency in the list that also satisfies the requisite is
explicitly selected.
This option is ignored when the
autoselect_dependencies
option is set to false.
autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor attributes)
for a software object that a user selects for a
swinstall or swcopy operation. When
set to
false, the patches corresponding to the selected object, are not automatically
selected.
The
patch_filter=
option can be used in conjunction with autoselect_patches
.
autoselect_reference_bundles=true
If true, bundles that are sticky are automatically installed or copied, along with the
software it is made up of. If false
, the software can be installed, or copied, without
automatically including sticky bundles that contain it.
codeword=
Provides the "codeword" needed to unlock protected HP CD-ROM software.
Some HP software products are shipped on CD-ROM as "protected" products. That is,
they cannot be installed or copied unless a "codeword" and "customer ID" are provided.
The codeword is found on the CD-ROM certificate which you received from HP. You may
use this default specification on the command line or the SD-UX Interactive User Inter-
face to enter the codeword.
This default stores the codeword for future reference, and you need to enter the codeword
only once. If you purchase a new HP product and a previous codeword has already been
entered for that CD-ROM, just enter the new codeword as usual and the codewords will
be merged internally.
NOTE: For HP-UX B.10.10 and later systems, SD searches the
.codewords file on the
server that is providing protected software to other hosts. It looks for valid
customer_id/codeword pairs. In doing so, SD eliminates the need to enter codewords and
customer_ids on every host that is "pulling" the software.
To properly store the customer_id/codeword for a CD-ROM, run
swinstall -p or
swcopy -p on the host serving the CD-ROM. After the codeword has been stored,
clients installing or copying software using that host and CD-ROM as a source will no
longer need a codeword or customer_id.
compress_files=false
If set to true, uncompressed files are compressed before transfer from a source. This
enhances performance on slower networks for swcopy and swinstall, and results in
smaller depots for swcopy and swpackage, unless the uncompress_files option is
also set to true.
compress_index=false
Determines whether SD commands create compressed INDEX and INFO catalog files
when writing to target depots or roots. The default of false does not create
compressed files. When set to true, SD creates compressed and uncompressed INDEX
and INFO files. The compressed files are named INDEX.gz and INFO.gz, and reside in
the same directories as the uncompressed files.
Compressed files can enhance performance on slower networks, although they may
increase disk space usage due to a larger Installed Products Database and depot catalog.
SD controllers and target agents for HP-UX 11.01 and higher automatically load the
compressed INDEX and INFO files from the source agent when:
• The source agent supports this feature.
•
INDEX.gz or INFO.gz exist on the source depot.
