resource
Step Action
Step 1 Create a Quick Delivery task.
The software that you deliver in this way must be defined as a deliverable software
resource in the Software Catalog. If the software is not defined, contact an
administrator who can edit the Software Catalog.
After the initial instance of a Quick Delivery task runs, you can edit and rerun it.
For example, you can deliver the software to different computers or run a different
command line on the same computers. You can also edit the delivery settings for
the task. For example, you can change the user credentials under which the task
runs.
See "Editing a task in Software Management Solution"
If you need to perform compliance checks or other advanced delivery activities,
use Managed Software Delivery instead of Quick Delivery.
See "About advanced software deliveries"
You can deliver software without the need to know which package to select or
how to create the command line.
See "About quick delivery of a single software resource"
The software that you deliver in this way must be defined as a deliverable software
resource in the Software Catalog. It must also have at least one command line.

Description
The options for creating a Quick Delivery task are as follows:
Use the Quick Delivery wizard.
The Quick Delivery wizard is the fastest and easiest way to create
and run a Quick Delivery task with minimum configuration.
See
on page 134.
Create the task without the wizard.
Use this method when you need to change the task s default
settings or run the task on a specific schedule. You can accomplish
the same goals by editing a task that you created with the wizard.
