A product specification file (PSF) defines the structure of a software package. The PSF provides a "road map" that identifies the software package according to its attributes, contents, compatibilities, and dependencies. SPB has a GUI that allows you to structure your PSF and define the attributes that apply to it. The PSF maps files in your source filesystem area to create the destination filesystem on a customer's system. In addition, the PSF can direct the appropriate installation for the customer by filtering on operating system (OS) and/or machine type attributes that are defined in the PSF.It is required that the PSF contain the following:
It is recommended that the PSF contain the following:
Attributes define the characteristics of the software elements in the software package. For example, the attributes defined for a software package can identify some of the following metadata:
Each of the software element classes has its own set of attributes, and each attribute has a value that defines it. Most attributes are optional; however, there are a few required attributes. Assigning valid attributes to software elements provides more control and precision when the software package is installed, updated, and removed. Table 2-2 provides a list of attributes that are required for a valid PSF. Table 2-2 Required Attribute Values
Additional attributes are recommended for creating a more detailed software package. If you use one of the software elements listed in Table 2-3, it is highly recommended to set the following attributes: Table 2-3 Recommended Attribute Values
