Package Properties
Introduction
The following is a description of the package properties. Right-click on the package and click Properties to open this view. The options are separated into 5 areas: Options, description, servers, catalog and license consolidation.
Options
Element | Description |
Dependency | The package can be set to run only after the successful installation of another package. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer must be installed before installing Microsoft Office. Package dependencies can only be made based on the other packages of the same type. |
Dependency Tree | Clicking this button will open the Dependency Tree. |
Priority | You can change the priority of the package with the slider or type it directly in the priority box. The lower the number, the higher its priority will be. |
Package is mandatory | If the package is to be installed on all computers it can be set to mandatory, meaning that all computers that are running the CapaInstaller Agent will run the package. This will include new units added to the system later. |
Allow package to be installed on a server | Computers that are running a server operating system will only run packages for which this box is checked. This includes packages otherwise marked as mandatory. This feature gives managers very specific control over which types of software are installed on servers, for which stability is paramount and which typically run a very different set of application than workstations. |
Package must run interactively | Typically the CapaInstaller Agent is running as a service on the local workstation. A service runs in its own user context and does not display any kind of GUI. Some packages require user interaction, and in these cases, mark this check box. |
Collect Online | This checkbox will only be available on certain CapaInstaller default packages. It defines if data is collected in batch mode or online. |
Client Execution Environment | This lets you specify what environment the package is executed in. The options are x86, x64 or Dynamic (can run on both as well as other environments).
