Adding Elements To The Repository - HP Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

Getting Started

Adding Elements to the Repository

This section describes how elements are added to the HP Manage-
ment Repository so that they are available for applying to client
devices. You must have configured an FTP Repository using the
FTP
before you can add elements to it (refer to the
Repository Wizard
section "Configuring the Repository" on page 39 for details).
The HP Management Repository actually resides over several serv-
ers, these being the HP Management Server Repository (the "Server
Repository") and one or more FTP Server Repositories (the "FTP
Repository"). The tool is used to import
Repository Management
elements into the Server Repository and then transfer them to the
relevant FTP Repository. An element must be transferred to an FTP
Repository before it can be applied to clients.
Note: When importing an element into the HP Management
Repository, a relay FTP server must be selected to temporarily hold
the element, which is then automatically transferred to the Server
Repository.
The tool is displayed by selecting >
Repository Management Tools
from the Management Console's menu
Repository Management
bar. The following section describes how to use it to import an
element into the Server Repository, then transfer it to an FTP
Repository.
Elements created through the Console using a template (for exam-
ple, an image file), are placed in the FTP Repository specified in the
template. If you want the element to be available in another FTP
Repository, you first need to transfer it to the Server Repository
using the tool's button, then
Repository Management Download
transfer the element from the Server Repository to the other FTP
Repository using the button.
