17.6.4 Linkage with the Packager and Remote Install Manager
During packaging or remote installation, if you change the package information such as Install directory or User name, the PACKAGE_INFO section in the AIT file is updated automatically. However, such information in the MAIN section is not updated. To prevent inconsistency between these sections, instead of hard-coding such information, use the global variables provided by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 as needed. The following table describes the available global variables for JP1/IT Desktop Management 2.
Global variable for JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 |
Description |
---|---|
InstallerName |
This is the installer name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. You cannot change this value during packaging or remote installation. Note that, during remote installation, this variable contains the installer name including the path name of the installation work directory on the computer. Therefore, the value during remote installation differs from the value during AIT file debugging. |
InstallDrive |
This is replaced with the installation drive name specified during packaging or remote installation. The default is the installation drive name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. |
InstallDirectory |
This is replaced with the installation directory name specified during packaging or remote installation. The default is the installation directory name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. |
InstallPoint |
This is replaced with a combination of InstallDrive and InstallDirectory, that is, the installation path directory including the drive name. |
JUser |
This is replaced with the user name specified during packaging or remote installation. |
JCompany |
This is replaced with the company name specified during packaging or remote installation. |
SerialNumber |
This is replaced with the serial number specified during packaging or remote installation. It is used to type in the license key. |
