Creating A Solution Pack; Managing Content Hierarchy Nodes - Novell SENTINEL 6.1 SP2 - 02-2010 User Manual

3 Open or create a Solution Pack.

15.4.3 Creating a Solution Pack

Using Solution Designer, you can create a Solution Pack using existing content objects (for
example, Correlation Rules, Dynamic Lists, or iTRAC workflow templates) from Sentinel. The
Solution Designer will analyze the dependencies for a content object and include all necessary
components in the Solution Pack. For example, a correlation rule deployment includes a correlation
rule definition and can also include one or more actions and the ability to create an incident using a
workflow. The Solution Designer will include the correlation rule, the associated correlation actions,
the iTRAC template, and the roles associated with the iTRAC template in the Solution Pack.
NOTE: To add a content object to a Solution Pack, it must already exist in Sentinel. Content objects
cannot be created using Solution Designer.
To create a new Solution Pack:
1 Open the Solution Designer in either connected or offline mode.
2 Click File > New. An empty Solution Pack displays in the Solution Pack frame.
3 Add Categories, Controls, Content Groups, and content placeholders using the proper
procedures for each.
4 Add file attachments to the hierarchy nodes as desired.
5 Select File > Save. The Save window displays. Provide a name and click Save. The Solution
Pack is saved in a .zip format.
NOTE: Although you can save a Solution Pack with empty placeholders, you cannot install
Controls in Solution Manager unless all placeholders have been filled with content.

15.4.4 Managing Content Hierarchy Nodes

All content in a Solution Pack is hierarchically organized into Categories, Controls, and Content
Groups in those groups. These nodes in the hierarchy can be added, deleted, renamed, or reordered.
