50 Configuring custom commands
Working with custom commands
This procedure details the minimum steps required to create a custom command
file. You can customize the command configuration file.
To create a custom command
1 In the Symantec Packager window, on the Configure Products tab, on the
File menu, click
New Custom Command .
2
In the Command Editor dialog box, on the Parameters tab, do one or both of
the following:
■
Type the command-line parameters for your custom command, and
then click
OK .
■
Include files and specify their target locations.
3 In the Command Editor dialog box, click OK .
4
In the Save As dialog box, type a file name for the custom command, and
then click
Save .
The command configuration file appears on the Configure Products tab.
Viewing custom command details
Symantec Packager lets you view the details of a custom command file without
opening the file. A summary of the custom command specifications is available
using the Display Details option.
To view custom command details
1 In the Symantec Packager window, on the Configure Products tab, select the
custom command file that you want to view.
2 On the File menu, click Display Details .
3
Click OK to close the Details window.
Deleting custom commands
Deleting a custom command removes its configuration file, which contains the
configuration settings that are needed to build the custom command. If you
delete the command configuration file that is included in a package definition
file, you break the package definition file. However, if you delete a command
configuration file, it does not affect installation packages that were previously
built and stored on the Deploy Packages tab.
