The following is not displayed:
  • Information for a package that is being deleted
If you attempt to refresh the display of package contents while the contents are being output to a CSV-formatted file, the display may fail.

With the relational database version of Remote Installation Manager, you can check more detailed attribute information for a package. The procedure for checking detailed attribute information is explained below. Note that you cannot check the details of multiple packages at the same time.

To check detailed attribute information:

  1. In the left-hand frame of the Package window, right-click the package whose details you wish to check, and select the Properties menu.
    The XXXXX Properties dialog box appears (XXXXX is the package name).
  2. In the XXXXX Properties dialog box, choose Details.
    When the Details of Attributes dialog box appears, you can check the packaging specification details. The items displayed in the Details of Attributes dialog box will depend on whether or not an installation script is used. For the items to be displayed, see 2.1.3 Checking a stored package.

Attribute details cannot be displayed for the following packages:

Note that you cannot rename, copy, or move a package. To achieve one of these results, you must use Packager to create a new package and then delete the old package.
