The CA Software Management Packager for Linux and UNIX (Packager) is used to define, configure, and package software products. CA Technologies provides a standard for packaging software for Linux and UNIX systems, the Product Interchange Format (PIF). The result of the packaging process is called a PIF package. PIF packages can be created for and installed on all Linux and UNIX platforms supported by the Software Management component. All Packager functions are available through the Java graphical user interface (Java GUI) and the command line interface (CLI).
The complete package is defined in a prototype file. The package definition includes, for example, package name and version, platform, language, install parameters, and path names. The prototype file is easily generated or modified using the Packager GUI, but it can also be generated and modified using CLI commands.
