Example for a Registration

Suppose you have received the following new software products:

• MemoPlus, a Windows NT Technology-based word processing package to be used by members of the administrative support staff to construct memos, letters, and so on
• MasterCalc, a Linux-based accounting program that is targeted for the accounting group at the JUPITER domain

Before you can distribute these programs to the domains and departments, you need to register them and their associated installation procedures in the enterprise manager's Software Package Library (or the domain manager's library, if you are not using an enterprise manager).

Because the files for MasterCalc reside on a tape device, the necessary files must first be extracted and converted to an installable format, such as a hard disk directory, without using software delivery functionality. You must then create the necessary item procedure files and register the program into the Software Package Library from the directory. The item procedures are registered as embedded, added, or external item procedures.
