Process for installing and managing a virtual software layer with a
Quick Delivery or Package Delivery task
Description
The options for creating the task are as follows:
Use the Quick Delivery wizard.
See "Creating a Quick Delivery task with the Quick Delivery wizard"
on page 134.
Create a Quick Delivery task without the wizard.
See "Creating a task in Software Management Solution"
See "Software settings for Quick Delivery tasks"

See "Creating a task in Software Management Solution"
See "Package settings for Package Delivery tasks"
Select the software resource that represents the VSA file to install or
manage. If you plan to manage an existing layer, select the software
resource that contains the VSA file that was installed to create the
layer.
In a Package Delivery task, you can also specify a VSA package that
is not assigned to a software resource.
Select a command line that specifies the action to perform. For
example, you can install (import) the layer or you can deactivate an
existing layer.
See "Actions that you can perform on a virtual software layer"
on page 223.
In a Package Delivery task, if you selected a VSA file that does not
have predefined command lines, you can type a valid command line.
Every task inherits the default settings that control how the task runs.
You can override the default settings for a particular task.
