you understand how to prevent the loss of application data.

layer.
Depending on how you create the policy, this check box appears in one of the
following places:
In the Managed Software Delivery wizard, this check box appears on the
Select software resource page.
If the software resource has any defined conflicts with other software
resources, those conflicts are listed with this option. Conflict associations
