Packaging Policies
Packaging policies are a set of rules that must be consistently followed to
create a valid software package. Packaging policies help ensure that the
software package you create in SPB is consistently named and
structured.
SPB validates your PSF against packaging policies, eliminating the need
for you to learn the intricacies of software package structuring. By
following a standard set of policies, you will experience fewer problems,
problems that can turn into longer test cycles and customer defects.
Packaging policies are implemented as Extensible Markup Language
(XML) files. The default policies supplied with SPB are located in
/opt/spb/data and are named as follows:
• For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) - the default policy file is
112XPolicies_SD.xml
• For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) - the default policy file is
11XPolicies_SD.xml
