Managing cabinets and packages is basically the managing server's (or relay system's) responsibility. You can use the Remote Installation Manager's Package window to check and edit packages as required. It is convenient to create cabinets in advance for different types of software and purposes (such as commercial software, user data, and anti-virus products).

The following is an example of the Package window:

Figure 2-4 Package window

Cabinets and packages are listed in the Package window in the left-hand frame with the following icons:

• : Cabinet (for Windows client)
• : Cabinet (for UNIX client)
• : Package (successfully packaged)
• : Package (error occurred or currently being processed)
• : Package (differing-components packages^#)

#

This icon is displayed for a differing-components package created by a JP1/Software Distribution version earlier than 7i. JP1 Version 8 or later does not support remote installation of differing-components packages.

In the Package window, you can perform the following operations on cabinets and packages:

• Check cabinets and packages
• Create cabinets
• Rename cabinets
• Delete cabinets and packages

For details about how to manage cabinets and packages, see 2.4 Managing cabinets and managing packages in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.
