Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client Description and User's Guide

2.2.5 Notes on packaging

When registering the software under the /tmp directory, grant the users with the reference, update, and execute privileges so all the users can access the /tmp directory.

The file attributes of the distributed packages (user IDs, ID groups, access modes) are the same as those of the packager.

Start the system as a superuser when registering Hitachi program products, another company's software, and OS patches. Any user can start the system when registering user programs and user data.

Do not create user files under the /odfd directory. The user files under the /odfd directory are deleted when JP1/Software Distribution Client ends.

You cannot package a resource from an end workstation to JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system).

If another distribution-destination system is currently registering a resource into the cabinet that you attempt to register a resource into, you cannot register the resource. When the KDDM1528-Q message is displayed, press the Return key to re-execute registration.

To register a resource using the attribute set values that are specified in the host file, specify the host file in the option of the rdsft or rdscm command or in the packaging-information file and then register the resource.
When you specify the -m option in the command, specify the host file of the relay system specified in the -m option. To specify a host file in the system connected to the relay system that is directly connected to the managing server, specify the host file of the relay system that is directly connected to the managing server.
The specification of the host file in the command takes precedence over the specification in the packaging-information file. If you do not specify a host file in the command, the specification in the packaging-information file is validated.

Packages registered to a Windows managing server by setting the prerequisite version, pre-installation process programs, and monitoring time will be invalid, regardless of whether the distribution-destination is a Windows or UNIX machine. Also, packages registered to a UNIX managing server become invalid when the distribution-destination is a Windows machine.

When registering a Hitachi program product and distributing it from JP1/Software Distribution Manager, do not change the contents of the following programs if they are specified for external program processing after market software installation (external programs that are to be started immediately following installation):

For a Hitachi program product not for HP-UX: /NETMRDS/COM/ppsetup

For a Hitachi program product for HP-UX: /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/ppsetup
