Package Delivery
Legacy Software Delivery
Description
These delivery methods use the enhanced delivery
functionality of Software Management Solution 7.0. They
also leverage the software resource information that is in
the Software Catalog and Software Library.
See "How Software Management Solution integrates with
the Software Catalog and Software Library"
Before you can deliver a 6.x software package with any of
these delivery methods, assign the package to a software
resource.
For more information about 6.x data migration, see the
Symantec Management Platform Release Notes.
These delivery methods leverage the software resource
information that is in the Software Catalog and Software
Library.
Whether or not you do assign a migrated package to a
software resource, you can use a Package Delivery task to
deliver that package.
You can also migrate 6.x Software Delivery Task Server
Plug-in tasks to Package Delivery tasks to deliver packages
with the same configurations as in 6.x.
See "Delivering a package without defining a software
resource" on page 138.
Legacy Software Delivery policies are the result of migrating
6.x Software Delivery tasks to 7.0 policies. Legacy Software
Delivery lets you deliver a 6.x software package with the
same configurations as in the 6.x task.
We recommend that you use this method only for 6.x
packages that you cannot deliver with Quick Delivery or
Managed Software Delivery.
