Component Type: system#directory

The system#directory component type represents a collection of files and folders that are taken from a target server. The system#directory component type includes installation, uninstallation, and snapshot procedures.

The system#directory component type defines the following variables:

• installName – The name to use for the resource when it is installed. The default value is the name of the component.

• installPath – The path in which to install the resource. The default value is the value of the installPath variable of the container component.

• installPermissions – The permissions to assign to the resource when it is installed. See the chmod(1M) man page. The default value is empty.

• installUser – The owner of this resource when it is installed. The default value is empty.

• installGroup – The group to assign to this resource when it is installed. The default value is empty.

• installDiffDeploy – Specifies whether the resource should be deployed in differential deploy mode. The default value is TRUE.

• overrideRsrcInstallPath – The absolute path in which to install the resource. If not defined, the resource is installed in the path specified by installPath. This variable is not commonly used so that installPath can be used to specify the path in which to install both the component and the resource.

• installDeployMode – Specifies whether to add files to the directory (ADD_TO) or replace the files in the directory (REPLACE). The default value is REPLACE.

Extended Control Procedures

The following procedures are defined for the system#directory component type:

• default install block – Deploys the contained file based on the state of the variables. No snapshots are captured.

• markOnly install block – Marks the system to indicate that a new version of the component is installed. No resources are transferred, and no snapshots are captured.

• default uninstall block – Undeploys the contained file from the location to which it was originally deployed.

• markOnly uninstall block – Marks the system to indicate that the current version of the component has been uninstalled. The component's resources are not actually removed from the target host.

• default snapshot block – Captures a snapshot of the deployed file. Because the default install block does not capture the file by default, container components must call this routine explicitly if you want a snapshot.
