In a Managed Software Delivery policy, you can set different schedules for the
compliance check and the remediation. You can configure these options in the
default settings for all Managed Software Delivery policies. You can also change
the default settings for specific Managed Software Deliveries.
During a Managed Software Delivery, the package download occurs during the
compliance check and the program execution occurs during the remediation.
When you schedule a Managed Software Delivery policy, you define the schedule
for the compliance check and then select an option to schedule the remediation.
See
"About the execution of Managed Software Delivery policies"
The separate schedules allow for the offline execution of the Managed Software
Delivery. You can schedule an offline execution by selecting the option to perform
the remediation during the next maintenance window.
For example, you support a large number of remote users who connect to your
network a few times a week. You need to install a new application on all their
computers and you want the installation to occur during a maintenance window.
However, you cannot guarantee that the users are connected to the network when
a maintenance window is scheduled. Therefore, you can create a Managed Software
Delivery policy and schedule the compliance check to occur as soon as a user
connects to your network. Then you schedule the remediation (installation) to
occur during the next maintenance window. When a user connects to the network,
the compliance check occurs and if a remediation is required, the package download
occurs. During the maintenance window, the installation occurs on the user s
computer. The installation can occur even if the client computer is not connected
to the network, because the computer already has the package that it needs.

Managed Software Delivery can use the supersedence associations that are defined
for software resources to install software that replaces other software. A
supersedence association is one in which one software resource replaces another
software resource.
Supersedence associations are supported in Managed Software Delivery
installations only.
