Software Selection window as the basic name
for the product.
limit 16 characters.
Type tag_string/version_component
- title
- The one-line, more detailed name for the product. It
appears on the Software Selection window.
This attribute will be seen often so it should clearly
and consisely describe the product.
limit 80 characters.
Type one_line_string
- description
- A file or text string describing the product. The free-form
ASCII style allows for a detailed description of your
software.
limit 2kB characters. limit 72 characters/line. Do not
use <TAB> characters.
Type multi_line_string

for the product. This is required for legal reasons.
limit 8kB characters. limit 72 characters/line. Do not
use <TAB> characters.
Type multi_line_string

Type multi_line_string
- revision
- The revision (release) number of the product. The revision
field is a string consisting of a series of dot-separated
fields. Revision numbers are often compared to determine
relative position within release cycles. The basic strategy
for comparison is:
- field by field, left to right
- smaller "numbers" specify older revisions
- ASCII comparison (0<A<a), if the revision number
contains non-numeric characters
- number comparison (shorter numbers padded with
trailing 0s), if the revision number
contains only digits
Type revision_string/version_component
- architecture
- The target system for which this bundle is intended.
Summarizes the supported hardware and operating systems.
There are three parts of the architecture attribute:
OS, OS revision, and machine type. The attribute is
structured like:
<OS>_<OS revision>_<machine type>
The OS is always "HP-UX".
The OS revision is different for ISU and Core software.
For Core software (BSU's and CSU's) the OS revision is
identical to the revision
attribute, so the architecture attribute changes for each HP-UX
release. For ISU software the OS revision is the
minimum OS revision necessary to run the software. For
example, if the software runs on 10.00 and 10.10, then
you would specify B.10.00.
The machine type can only have three values:
700 |
runs on series 700 only |
800 |
runs on series 800 only |
700/800 |
runs on either series 700 or series 800 |
limit 80 characters.
Type one_line_string/version_component
- machine_type
- machine types on which the bundle will run (uname -m).
May use shell pattern matching to cover a range of
machine types. Some examples:
9000/7?? |
series 700 only |
9000/[68]?? |
series 800 only |
9000/[678]?? |
series 700 and series 800 |
limit 64 characters.

- OS'es on which the bundle will run (uname -s)
HP-UX
limit 32 characters.
Type uname_string
- os_release
- OS releases on which the bundle will run (uname -r).
May use shell pattern matching to cover a range of
releases. Some examples:
?.10.* |
any 10.0 release |
?.10.*|?.11.* |
any 10.0 or 11.0 release |
limit 32 characters.
Type uname_string
- os_version

May use shell pattern matching to cover a range of
releases.
limit 32 characters.
Type uname_string
- directory
- The default, absolute pathname of the direcotry which is
the root of the file system tree under which the product
will be installed. Can be re-mapped by the user if
is_locatable is TRUE.

Type path_string/version_component
- is_locatable
- A boolean, which if set to TRUE, allows users to install the
product into an alternate product directory.
Type boolean
- share_link
- An optional attribute which tells SD-UX that the product
may be link-installed for diskless support. The attribute
contains one or more pathnames which are share link points
for this product. The pathnames are always relative to the
application install directory. For more details, see
NFS Diskless Concepts and Administration.
Type boolean
- number
- The HP part number for the software, such as
J2326AA
Limit 32 characters.
