Command-line options for the Application
Management agent
A software resource for the Application Management agent is created in the
Software Catalog when Software Management Solution is installed. You can use
this software resource to create your own policies and tasks to repair Windows
Installer applications or to update their source paths. You deliver the agent with
a command line that runs the agent according to your specifications. You use the
Application Management agent command-line options to create the command
line.
