Create a Managed Software Delivery policy that contains
multiple software resources and tasks.
You can also migrate 6.x Sequential Software Delivery tasks
to Managed Delivery policies.
See “Delivering multiple software resources and tasks
sequentially” on page 126.
Create a sequential Software
Delivery task on the
Software Delivery Task
page. Deliver multiple
software packages in
sequence.
Use Quick Delivery, Managed Software Delivery, or Package
Delivery as appropriate. Software Management Solution
uses the same interfaces for these operating systems as for
Windows.
See “Methods for delivering software” on page 88.
You can also migrate 6.x Software Delivery tasks to Legacy
Software Delivery policies.
We recommend that you use Legacy Software Delivery
policies only for 6.x packages that you cannot deliver with
Quick Delivery or Managed Software Delivery.
