Adding A Managed Software Delivery Policy To The Software Portal - Symantec ALTIRIS 7.0 SP2 - MANAGEMENT SOLUTION Manual

Adding a Managed Software Delivery policy to the
Software Portal

Adding a Managed Software Delivery policy to the Software Portal

For example, you publish a software resource to the Software Portal and set
permissions for 12 user groups. Later, you need to make that software unavailable
for a specific time, so you uncheck the Publish to Software Portal check box on
the Software Publishing tab. When you decide to make the software available
again, you can check the Publish to Software Portal check box and the software s
Software Portal settings are preserved. You do not have to reset the permissions
for those user groups.
See "Software Publishing tab"
Before you can delete a software resource, you must delete all its references.
For more information, see the topics about deleting a software resource in the
Symantec Management Platform Help.
(Windows and Mac OS only)
You can add (publish) an existing Managed Software Delivery policy to the
Software Portal to deliver one or more software resources with complex delivery
requirements.
See "About advanced software deliveries"
For example, you can publish a Managed Software Delivery policy that installs a
software resource and the other software that it depends on. The user can request
the main software without having to request the dependency software or even
know that a dependency exists.
This task is a step in the process for implementing the Software Portal.
See "Implementing the Software Portal"
You can also publish software resources to the Software Portal.
