Software Jobs: Introduction

Software jobs are primarily used to deploy software packages to computers in the network, but also to configure, activate, and remove installed software.

The mode of operation is determined by which software package procedure is selected.

There are four different types of procedures:

Software jobs are made of job containers to allow more than one software package to be deployed or staged at the same time.

Job containers are by default transactional, so if a job fails, the remaining jobs will be aborted.

Software jobs are also used to stage software packages on scalability servers. This helps you to reduce network traffic when deploying packages to computers on diverse networks.
