About the Auto Import Service
Refreshing Package Subscriptions
Wise Software Repository Automation lets you automate the manipulation of objects in
the Wise Software Repository without having to know the structure of the Software
Manager database. You can use the Wise Software Repository Automation object model
to automate the following:
The import of packages into the Wise Software Repository
This includes any type of package that you can import with Software Manager
except an InstallShield Developer Executable and any package that requires the
Universal Import.
The generation of custom Wise Software Repository reports
You can generate reports for files, registry keys, or shortcuts. You use the properties
of objects to specify the data that gets generated in the report. After you create
collections of packages or resources, you can filter the collections to produce the
desired output.
The creation of groups and the generation of reports on groups
When you automate the import of packages into the Wise Software Repository, you
can automate the creation of groups. You can also automate the generation of
reports on groups.
