Comparison of software delivery in versions 6.x and 7.0 (continued)
Table 1-4
Method in 6.x
Create a sequential Software
Delivery task on the
Software Delivery Task
page.
Create a Software Delivery
task in Software Delivery
Solution for UNIX, Linux,
and Mac.
Create a Software Delivery
task in Software Delivery
Solution for Pocket PC.
Depending on how the
software was installed,
uninstall it as follows:
Clone a software delivery
task for that software and
add the uninstall switch
to the command line.
Create a new task with a
package and program to
uninstall the software.
Introducing Software Management Solution
How 6.x features compare to Software Management Solution 7.0
Method in 7.0
Create a Managed Software Delivery policy that contains
multiple software resources and tasks.
You can also migrate 6.x Sequential Software Delivery tasks
to Managed Delivery policies.
See
"Delivering multiple software resources and tasks
sequentially"
on page 126.
Use Quick Delivery, Managed Software Delivery, or Package
Delivery as appropriate. Software Management Solution
uses the same interfaces for these operating systems as for
Windows.
See
"Methods for delivering software"
You can also migrate 6.x Software Delivery tasks to Legacy
Software Delivery policies.
We recommend that you use Legacy Software Delivery
policies only for 6.x packages that you cannot deliver with
Quick Delivery or Managed Software Delivery.
See
"About Legacy Software Delivery"
Handheld devices are not supported in Software
Management Solution 7.0.
The functions are similar to those in 6.x.
Depending on how the software was installed, uninstall it
as follows:
If the software to be uninstalled was installed with a
Software Management Solution task or policy, clone the
original installation task or policy. Then edit the clone
to select an uninstall command line.
Create a new Software Management Solution task or
policy for the software resource and select an uninstall
command line. You can use any of the methods for
delivering software.
