Software groups are used to bundle software packages in the Software Package Library. Each software group can contain individual software packages, install procedure groups, or other software groups, each of which can be a part of one or more software groups. For instance, a software package called Word Processing can be part of the “Office Software” software group and part of the “Popular Software” software group also.
The Software Package Library initially contains three predefined software groups, including All Software, DSM Software Packages, and Catalog. The All Software group contains all registered software packages. The DSM Software Packages group contains all auto-registered DSM packages. The Catalog folder is initially empty. However, catalog groups can later be added. For more information on catalog groups, see Defining Catalog Groups.
Using a software group provides a quick and easy means of installing a number of individual software packages. For instance, the Office Software group may contain a word processing package, a drawing package, and a spreadsheet package. These packages can be installed together as part of the Office Software installation.
Procedure groups contain links to individual software packages and are used when defining installation jobs.
The procedure group contains the procedures used for installation of the software packages. The procedures in a procedure group can be ordered.
