Software Procedures

The software delivery system currently lets you enable or disable RAC for individual software procedures. If you do not want an item procedure to execute as part of the RAC process, you select the Exclude from RAC option in the Properties dialog of the actual procedure. This option enables you to exclude obsolete packages or patches from RAC.

The Exclude From RAC functionality has been expanded to support Offline RAC. During offline reinstallation, the Exclude from RAC setting in the Properties dialog is checked for each software procedure, and the procedure is not run if the procedure is excluded.

An example is where an individual patch may be necessary to resolve a critical security issue involving your virtual desktops without having to recompose them. However, once recomposed, the new version of the golden template has all the patches applied and reinstalling that patch is unnecessary.
