This option is ignored when the autoselect_dependencies
option is set to false.
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.
•
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
Location of a depot for the controller to access to resolve selections. This has no effect on
which sources the target uses. Specify this as host , /path,orhost:/path. Useful for
reducing network traffic between controller and target.
enforce_dependencies=true
Requires that all dependencies specified by the software_selections be resolved at the
target_selections.
The
swconfig command will not proceed unless the dependencies have also been
selected or already exist at the target in the correct state (INSTALLED or CONFIG-
URED). This prevents unusable software from being configured on the system.
If set to
false, dependencies will still be checked, but not enforced. Corequisite depen-
dencies, if not enforced, may keep the selected software from working properly. Prere-
quisite and exrequisite dependencies, if not enforced, may cause the configuration to fail.
enforce_scripts=true
Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If true, and the vendor-supplied
script returns an error, the configure or unconfigure operation stops. An error message
appears reporting that the execution phase failed. If false, swconfig attempts to
continue operation. A warning message appears reporting that the execution succeeded.
enforce_selections=false
Controls the behavior of the swconfig command by checking the
software_selections available.
If set to
false, the swconfig command proceeds if one or more software selections are
available.
If set to
true, the swconfig command proceeds only if all the software selections are
available.
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.
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software appli-
cations by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applica-
tions using a different IPD.
