15.3.1 Importing Solution Packs

Solution Packs are be available from several sources. They can be downloaded from
support.novell.com/products/sentinel6 (http://support.novell.com/products/sentinel6)
license might be needed). They can be provided by one of Novell's partners, or they can be created
from content in your own Sentinel system.
The first step in using a Solution Pack is to import the .zip file into the system using the Import
Plugin Wizard. When a Solution Pack is imported, the .zip file is copied to the server where the
DAS (Data Access Service) components are installed. The actual contents of the Solution Pack are
not available in the target Sentinel system until the Controls are installed using the Solution
Manager.
If you import an updated version of a Solution Pack, you are prompted to replace the existing plugin.
