22. Managing Software by Using Oracle Solaris Package Commands (Tasks)
The following task map describes the software management tasks that you can perform with the Oracle Solaris Product Registry.
|
The Oracle Solaris Product Registry is a tool to help you manage installed software. After you have installed the software, Product Registry provides a list of all the installed software by using the Oracle Solaris installation GUI or the pkgadd command.
You can use the Oracle Solaris Product Registry in a GUI or with a command-line interface (CLI). For more information on how to use the Oracle Solaris Product Registry CLI, see Managing Software With the Oracle Solaris Product Registry Command-Line Interface (Task Map).
The Oracle Solaris Product Registry GUI interface enables you to do the following:
View a list of installed and registered software and some software attributes.
View all Oracle Solaris system products that you installed in their localized version in the System Software Localizations directory.
Find and launch an installer.
Install additional software products.
Uninstall software and individual software packages.
The Oracle Solaris Product Registry GUI main window consists of three panes of information:
Installed, registered, and removed software
Standard attributes of the currently selected software
Attributes that are customized and attributes that are internal to the registered software
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# prodreg &
The Oracle Solaris Product Registry main window is displayed.
The turner control changes directions, from pointing right, to pointing downward. You can expand or collapse any item in the registry, except an item that has a text file icon to its left.
The Software Installed in Registered Software box always contains the following components:
The configuration software group that you chose when you installed the Oracle Solaris release. Software groups that can be displayed include Reduced Network Support, Core, End User System Support, Developer System Support, Entire Distribution, or Entire Distribution Plus OEM Support.
Additional system software, which contains Oracle Solaris products that are not part of the software group you chose.
Unclassified software that is not an Oracle Solaris product or part of the software group. This software includes any package that you installed by using the pkgadd command.
The list expands as you open directories.
The Product Registry displays attribute information in the System Registry box.
For software products that were installed with the installation GUI, the Oracle Solaris Product Registry contains values for at least the following: Title, Version, Location, and Installed on. Items in an expanded list under a product or software group inherit the version information of the product.
If all or part of the product was removed with the pkgrm command, a cautionary icon appears next to the software product's name.
You can use Oracle Solaris Product Registry to find software and launch the installation GUI program. This program takes you through the installation of that software.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
