1.4 Dependency Bundles

When you create the following actions for a bundle, you create bundle dependencies:
Action - Install Bundle
Action - Launch Bundle
Action - Uninstall Bundle
Action - Verify Bundle
A bundle's Dependency Bundles tree shows the chaining information of that bundle and the action
sets that each dependency is in. To view the Dependency Bundles tree in ZENworks Control Center,
click the Bundles tab, click a bundle that has dependent bundles, then on the Summary tab, click the
Display Bundle Dependencies link in the Dependency Bundles row. If the selected bundle does not
have dependent bundles, the link displays None instead of Display Bundle Dependencies.
The following sections contain additional information:
Section 1.4.1, "Primary Applications vs. Dependent Applications," on page 13
Section 1.4.2, "Bundle Chains," on page 14
Section 1.4.3, "Distributing, Installing, and Launching a Bundle That Has Dependencies," on
page 15

1.4.1 Primary Applications vs. Dependent Applications

When working with bundle dependencies, the primary bundle is the bundle for which you are
establishing dependencies. The bundles that are defined as dependencies are called the dependent
bundles. The following illustration shows this relationship. Application A as the primary bundle
with Applications B, C, and D as dependent bundles.

Figure 1-1
A primary bundle can have one dependent application or, as shown in the above example, it can
have multiple dependent applications.
