Custom Distribution Mastering Toolkit

Creating custom-installable SSO archives

After populating the SSO tree with the distribution files, run cdmtArchive(CDMT) to create the custom-installable archives:

cdmtArchive

The cdmtArchive command:

By default, cdmtArchive creates cartridge tape cpio archives and places them in $CDMT_DIR/archives/TAPE. To change the default media type from TAPE, use the -media option:

cdmtArchive -media media_type

The media_type can be TAPE, CD, or FLOPPY.

To specify the default media in the cdmt.config file, use the archiveMedia attribute in the CONFIG record:

   CONFIG:
   archiveMedia	=	media_type
See cdmt.config(CDMT).

Once you create the custom-installable archives, you can install them directly using custom(ADM) or copy them to a single media volume:

``CDMT make install script'' is a sample script that you can include in your make install process, that runs cdmtParse, cdmtCompress, and cdmtArchive.

See also:

CDMT make install script

#!/bin/sh

CDMT_DIR=/build

cdmtParse if test $? != 0 then exit 1 fi

cdmtCompress if test $? != 0 then exit 1 fi

cdmtArchive if test $? != 0 then exit 1 fi
