Creating and populating the SSO tree

Once the distribution tree and CDMT environment are ready,
use the CDMT tools to create and populate the SSO tree:

1. Run cdmtParse(CDMT):
   
   
   cdmtParse

   The cdmtParse command:

   • reads the $CDMT_DIR/cdmt.config file, if it exists.

   • reads the CDMT input files in $CDMT_DIR/input (for example, WServer.prd, WServer.cmpnt, and WServer.pkg).

   • creates the empty SSO tree prototype (/opt hierarchy) in the $CDMT_DIR/sso directory.

   • creates the SSO databases and places them in the SSO tree prototype.

2. Run cdmtCompress(CDMT):
   
   
   cdmtCompress

   The cdmtCompress command:

   • reads the $CDMT_DIR/cdmt.config file, if it exists.

   • populates the $CDMT_DIR/sso directory with the component distribution files (from the distribution tree, specified with distTreeRoot). If specified, cdmtCompress compresses the distribution files. To specify compression, in the cdmt.config file, set the compress attribute in the CONFIG record to TRUE. See cdmt.config(CDMT).

   • runs sum(C) and determines the sizes of the distributions files and updates the SSO databases (in $CDMT_DIR/sso) with this information.

   • runs ssoPatch(CDMT)
     on any specified files.

   Now, create the custom-installable archives.
