SD-UX commands work on a hierarchy of software objects - bundles, products, subproducts and filesets - that make up the applications or operating systems you want to manage.

Title not available (SD-UX Software Structure )

Bundles

Collections of filesets, possibly from several different products, that are "encapsulated" by HP for a specific purpose. Bundles can be stored in software depots and copied, installed, removed, listed, configured and verified as single entities. Only HP can create bundles and all HP-UX 10.X OS software is packaged in bundles. Bundles, since they are groups of filesets, are NOT necessarily supersets of products.

Products

Collections of subproducts (optional) and filesets. The SD-UX commands maintain a product focus but still allow you to specify subproducts and filesets.

Different versions of software can be defined for different platforms and operating systems, as well as different revisions (releases) of the product itself. Several different versions could be included on one distribution media or depot. However, you cannot mix Series 700 and 800 software on a single depot.

Subproducts

Subproducts are used to group logically related filesets within a product if the product contains several filesets.

Filesets

Filesets include the all the files and control scripts that make up a product. They are the smallest manageable (selectable) SD-UX software object. Filesets can only be part of a single product but they could be included in several different HP-UX bundles.

SD-UX commands refer to this product structure in the form:

bundle[.]
or
product[.[subproduct.]fileset]

with periods separating each level.
