Palm Package Definition

Palm Package files

Use the Browse button, to the right of the Palm package file(s) field, to select the proper path to the Palm package file(s).

The path has to be the full UNC-path to the subdirectory, where the Palm package file is located.

Having selected Browse, you can select among a number of file types in the Open dialog:

All Palm file types. All of the following file types are then selectable:

• Palm application file (.prc file), a storage file which contains the instructions and data that are required to install an application.
• Palm database file (.pdb file).
• Palm query applications file (.pqa file).
• Palm network configuration file (.pnc file).
• Palm network script file (.scp file).

You can select one type of file and then one file of that type.

For example, you select Puzzle.prc. The default name for the software item will then be Puzzle. You should provide a version number as well. If you do not do that, SD supplies the version number 1.0 as default.

However, you can also select a number of files. The last selected, say x.prc, will then provide the default name, x, of the package in the software library.

You can also register files of more than one file type simultaneously, say a .prc file and a .pdb file.

Source is on manager

Check this box, if you are using the CA ITCM Explorer on another computer than the domain manager itself and you want to give the path to a local drive on the domain manager (as seen by the manager). Otherwise, do not check the box. If this box is checked, the Browse button is grayed out.
Note: If you use this option, you cannot use UNC paths: You have to manually map a drive at the manager to the actual location and use that path instead. For example, if the UNC path is \\Server\share\dir, map x: to \\Server\share and then use the path x:\dir instead of the UNC path.
