Basic Steps for Packaging and Distributing Parameter Products

Basic Steps for Packaging and Distributing Parameter Products

With the Packager you can package software, data, or parameters that are registered to the software package library and then distributed to and installed on one or more target computers.

Before you can distribute products, you must install and configure the SXP Installer software on all relevant target computers in your network.

Follow these steps:

1. Create all desired client parameters.

   You can define client parameters for the Default object, Group objects, and PC objects, depending on your needs.

2. Select Edit, Client Parameters from the Packager main menu.
3. The Client Parameters dialog opens.
4. Select Edit, Parameter, Create Parameter Product.
5. The Create Parameter Product dialog opens.
6. Enter the name and version number of the parameter product, and click OK.

   Using the settings in the parameter archive, the Packager generates a parameter product.

   To view the newly created product and version in the Product archive dialog, select Window, Product Archive, and find the new product details in the archive tree on the left pane.

7. Distribute the parameter product to the target computers.
