agent_timeout_minutes=10000

Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the speciﬁed time. This can be

used to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can

take as long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the

longest period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation,

a value between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is

recommended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7

days.

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; it needs to be entered only once. If

a new HP product is purchased 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 require a codeword or customer_id.

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.X or later system.

distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw

Deﬁnes the default location of the target depot.

installed_software_catalog=products

Deﬁnes the directory path where the Installed Products Database (IPD) is stored. This

information describes installed software. When set to an absolute path, this option

deﬁnes the location of the IPD. When this option contains a relative path, the SD con-

troller appends the value to the value speciﬁed by the admin_directory option to

determine the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved relative to the

location of the alternate root. This option does not affect where software is installed, only

the IPD location.
