On the Package page, choosing Add displays the Add Package dialog box. Use this dialog box to specify packages to be added. You can resize the Add Package dialog box to the desired size. Once you change the size, the dialog box is displayed in that size from then on.

Figure 2-48 Add Package dialog box

In this dialog box, specify the packages to be added. Move from the Cabinet and Package frames to the Selected package frame the packages to be added. Use the > and ->> buttons, then choose OK. Each selected package is added to the Package page.

On the Package page, select a package to be deleted, then choose Delete.

On the Package page, choosing Change displays the Change Installation Conditions dialog box. In this dialog box, you can view and change package installation conditions set during packaging.

Figure 2-49 Change Installation Conditions dialog box

The Change Installation Conditions dialog box contains pages determined by the package type. These are the same pages as displayed in the Software Distribution Packaging dialog box. For details about the settings, see 2.2 Specifying the packaging details. Note that the following information can be viewed but not changed:

• Contents of the Packaging Information page
• Package compression setting
• Setting for monitoring for start of an external program for a package that was packaged by a UNIX version of Packager

Replace existing package

When this check box is selected and a client already contains software with the same name as the package you want to distribute, installation processing replaces the existing software with the package.

Note that when the Replace existing package check box is selected, the managing server sends the specified package regardless of whether or not the package has already been distributed to the client. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the network traffic, you should select this check box only under the following circumstances:

• When it is necessary to replace an existing package.
• When it is necessary to redistribute a package that has been uninstalled or deleted.
  In such case, you can only install the package when this check box is selected.
  

When Replace existing package is selected, installation processing replaces software with the same version as the software to be installed even if their contents are different. When this happens, JP1/Software Distribution will be unable to manage the information of installed packages on the basis of versions.

On the Package page, choosing Options displays the Batch Setting for Installation Conditions dialog box. You can specify in this dialog box the batch mode schedule information of the package installation conditions for all packages.

Figure 2-50 Batch Setting for Installation Conditions dialog box

The contents of this dialog box are the same as on the Schedule page in the Change Installation Conditions dialog box.
