Using the Software Package Library

Before a software program (software package) can be distributed using software delivery (SD) functions, it needs to be defined to the Software Package Library on the enterprise or domain manager through the registration process.

During the registration process, information about the software item, such as its name, version, source, and installation procedures are defined to the database.

In this section, you will read how to

• Prepare programs for registration in the Software Package Library
• Register software programs
• Register virtual application packages
• Define startup procedures and customized scripts, known as item procedures, to install, activate, configure and remove a program
• Add new item procedures to a program that is already registered in the Software Package Library
• Use automatic registration to register SD packages in additional SD networks
• Create software groups to bundle individual software products
• Create catalog groups to make software available to a particular group of users through the Software Catalog
