Understanding Packaging

Hundreds of packages are potentially registered in the CA Software Delivery server. CA Server Automation lets you select a subset of packages, so that you can manage the packages that apply to your data center. You can then deploy these packages from the CA Server Automation user interface to remote computers or schedule deployments as jobs.

When you schedule multiple packages for deployment, CA Software Delivery deploys jobs one at a time. You create both jobs in the CA Server Automation user interface. The first job is sent to the CA ITCM interface and the other job is queued. If you view the jobs from the CA ITCM interface, one job appears. When the first job completes, then the next job appears. If you view the jobs in the CA Server Automation interface, you can view multiple scheduled jobs at the same time.
