SD-UX IPD(Installed Product Database) is a special instance of SD catalog & will be fo und in /var/adm/sw/products to list each bundle and

product in IPD # ll /var/adm/sw/products ============= Control Directories (contains ctrl information): ifiles - IPD pfiles - Bundle and product dfiles - Depot ============== Master index file: Containing all value pairs in location: /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX Session files: Invocation options, source information and target hosts are saved before command execution commences. Each session is saved in $HOME/.sw/sessions/{ command}.last and overwritten each time. From CUI sessions can be saved by "swinstall or swcopy -C session_file" default location for session file is "$HOME/.sw/sessions/" To re-execute saved session: Use Recall session(GUI) Use "swinstall or swcopy -S session_file"(CUI) Precedance values considered(Doubt) NOTE: Use of session files is not recommended with swremove because the session file could include software selections that you do not want included in the removal o peration. Templates to lists options - "/usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults" Options listed as comments in "/var/adm/sw/defaults" or personal defaults file ( $HOME/.sw.defaults). Option values can be specified using "[command.]option=value" ================================ Rules that governs this options:

These rules govern the way the defaults work: 1. Option values in /usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults is only usable as a template for copying to other option files. 2. Option values in /var/adm/sw/defaults file affect all users in a system. 3. Option values in your personal $HOME/.sw.defaults file affect only you and no t the entire system. 4. Option values in a session file affect activities only for that session and r evert when that session is completed. 5. Option values changed on the command line affect only that activity. ================================ The values can be overridden by "-x option=value" After changing option values need to restart daemon using "/usr/sbin/swagentd r"
