Software Deployment | Deployment Groups and click the Details button. The Package Details dialog
box opens:
From this dialog, you can view which software installs are contained within the managed package
and whether or not there are any software dependencies. You can also see the software roles that
this package contains. Deployment tasks are generated if the following two conditions are fulfilled:
1. A match between one or more of the roles in the managed package and one or more roles added
to any device within the deployment group.
2. A match between the type of device that the managed package specifies and the types of devices
contained within the deployment group.
Deployment tasks may also be generated if you perform a Check Software on a device. SiteConfig
attempts to match the device's installed software with software that has been either added to the
package store or to a deployment group. If the software matches, SiteConfig considers the software
to be managed software.
Some software components, such as those for Aurora products, share common prerequisite software.
This common software is contained in a separate installation package. You install this prerequisite
software package on the control point PC so that when SiteConfig deploys any software that needs
the prerequisite software, it uses the software installation files from the common package. This
reduces the size of
.cab files overall and makes software download more manageable.
