2.1.10 Preventing package distribution by checking versions

Before distributing an update version of a program product, you can check whether the base version that of the update version has been installed in the distribution-destination. If it has not, a message is output. This prevents distribution of unnecessary packages.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Specifying the base version of the update version

(2) Timing for checking versions

(1) Specifying the base version of the update version

When distributing to a UNIX machine, specify the version as attribute information during packaging. This specification can be altered during creation of the distribution job.

When distributing to a Windows machine, specify the version in the installation script file. For details on the contents to specify in the installation script file, see the manual for the Windows version of JP1/Software Distribution.

For UNIX distribution-destination systems

The check is performed immediately before installation of the resource file.

For Windows distribution-destination systems

After installation of the resource file, the check is performed depending on the control of the installation script file.
