Symantec SOFTWARE MANAGER 8.0 - REFERENCE FOR WISE PACKAGE STUDIO V1.0 Reference page 42

Software Manager Reference
If this is marked, conflict detection checks for conflicts between the imported
package and all other packages in the Software Manager database.
6. To assign the imported package to one or more groups:
a. Click Groups on the Import Type page. The Select Groups dialog box appears.
b. Mark the check boxes of the groups to assign the package to.
c. Click OK.
Note
If you will use Group Distribution, it is best to add packages to groups on the Group
Properties dialog box. The order in which you add packages to a group on the Group
Properties dialog box can affect the state of the package check boxes during
distribution.
7. Click Next on the Import Type page.
The Package Details dialog box appears.
8. Complete the dialog box:
.MSI/.WSI File
The file you specified is displayed.
Application Name
To create a new application, enter a unique name. To add this package to an
existing application, select an application from the drop-down list.
Note
If the package's meta data is in the Software Manager database or the package
was created in Wise Package Studio, Application Name and Package Name
are pre-filled. In that case, don't change these names. Otherwise, you will have
two packages in the database for the same installation: a package with just
meta data and the package you import.
For information on application and package names, see
Packages on page 22.
Package Name
Enter a unique name to identify this package. Typically, you use the application
name plus specific version information. Example: If the application name is
Adobe Acrobat Reader, the package name might be Acrobat Reader 5.05.
To replace an existing package, select a package from the drop-down list.
Use Transactions for Import
Mark this check box to import installation resources as database transactions
instead of importing them individually. This speeds the import, but can lock
Software Manager database records temporarily during the update. Use this
option if you are the only person importing packages. If multiple people are
importing packages at one time, do not mark this check box.
9. If you specified a .WSI, click Finish and skip the remaining steps.
10. If you specified an .MSI, click Next.
If the Software Manager database contains one or more patches (.MSP) that apply
to this .MSI, the Existing Patches page appears and lists them.
Otherwise, the Transforms and Patches page appears.
