This topic describes how to distribute a software package or software-package
category in IBM Director.
You can distribute a software package or software-package category
immediately or schedule a later time for distribution.
Notes: - Group-distribution preferences and individual managed-system distribution
preferences are independent of each other. That is, when you distribute a
software package to a group, the group-distribution preferences apply to all
the managed systems within the group. If you distribute a software package
to an individual managed system, the managed-system distribution preferences
apply.
- If you distribute a software-package category to a group of managed systems,
each software package within that category is delivered individually to each
managed system in the group. The package that is listed first in the category
is the first to be distributed. After the first package has been distributed,
each succeeding package is delivered to each managed system until all software
packages have been distributed.
