Software Packaging

Product Specification File

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
	Software Element	Required Attribute
	Product	tag
	Fileset	tag
	Subproduct	tag, contents
	Bundle	tag, contents
	Vendor	tag

	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:
