11.5.2 Automatic distribution using JP1/Software Distribution (in UNIX)

Assume that Client Manager of JP1/Software Distribution Client and JP1/AJS3 - Manager are active at the package-distributed destination host.

To automatically distribute the package using JP1/Software Distribution:

1. Make sure that the name of the target host has been defined in the hosts file of the distributing host.

2. Execute the following command to display the package information:

   directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmrsc -c

   The package information output in the following format after the command is executed is called a resource.

   When the packaging is performed on a Windows host:

   D.cabinet-ID.package-ID.version-number.generation-number

   When the packaging is performed on a UNIX host:

   C.cabinet-ID.package-ID.version-number.generation-number

3. Execute the following command to generate an instruction:

   directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -d -a distributed-host-name -s distributing-resource-name

4. Execute the following command to execute the instruction:

   directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -x

5. Execute the following command to check the execution status of the instruction:

   directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -c

Supplementary notes

The following lists the commands of JP1/Software Distribution.

The JP1/Software Distribution commands are:

Command to activate JP1/Software Distribution Manager

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmse

Command to terminate JP1/Software Distribution Manager

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmse -p

Command to display resource information

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmrsc -c

Command to generate an install instruction

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -d -a distributed-host-name -s distributing-resource-name

Command to execute an instruction

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -x

Command to check the status of distribution

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -c

Command to delete a resource

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmrsc -r -s distributing-resource-name

Command to delete the status of distribution

directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands/rdsdmind -r -a distributed-host-name -s distributing-resource-name

Replace directory-storing-JP1/Software-Distribution-commands with the following directory:

For HP-UX:

/opt/NETMDM/bin

For Solaris or AIX:

/usr/bin
