Using The Process Assistant - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Using the Process Assistant

The Process Assistant is a procedure-based alternative interface to the standard AdminStudio interface that guides
you through the process of preparing a new application for enterprise use. Using the Process Assistant, you can
perform the following tasks:
• Packaging and feature customization
• Conflict resolution
• QA testing
• Deployment hand-off
The ConflictSolver Process
opened from the ConflictSolver interface, guides you through the process of identifying and resolving conflicts
between Windows Installer packages.
Using the Process Assistant decreases the time required for new AdminStudio users to prepare software packages
for deployment, and also enables veteran systems administrators to efficiently jump start a new packaging project.
It provides assistance on what steps to perform next, based on your previous selections.
