Wise Package Studio Reference 24
Introduction to Wise Package Studio
z
A single Wise Package Studio server can contain multiple repositories. However,
only one repository can be active at a time.
To change the active repository on a Wise Package Studio server, open the repository in
the Wise Repository Manager.
A Wise Package Studio client can connect to any Wise Software Repository that it can
access. To change a client’s default repository, use the Workbench Preferences dialog
box > Repository tab and specify the share point that is associated with an active Wise
Software Repository.
For configuration recommendations, see Additional Wise Package Studio Configurations
in the Getting Started Guide.
Benefits of Maintaining Package Information in the Wise Software
Repository
z
Maintain a complete inventory of all applications used in your organization and store
all packages and their source files in a centralized location.
z
Manage each package throughout its lifecycle—from integration to testing and
deployment through retirement.
z
Maintain the status of each package in the repository and avoid problems typically
caused by mixing production packages with those in development. Examples:
accidentally deploying a package that is not ready for use, or unintentionally
changing a proven production package.
z
Reduce conflicts between applications before deployment, producing reliable, error-
free deployments and reducing help desk calls.
When corporate developers have the Enterprise Edition of Wise for Windows Installer or
Wise for Visual Studio .NET, they can use the Wise Software Repository to manage
shared resources and ensure they always use the correct versions of shared resources.
Wise Package Studio Directories
Files that are used and created by Wise Package Studio are organized in several
directories. In the Standard Edition, they are subdirectories of the Wise Package Studio
application directory. In the Professional Edition, they are subdirectories of the share
point directory, which lets multiple users share the files.
If your organization uses the Enterprise Edition of Wise for Windows Installer, the share
point directory might contain additional information that is unique to that product.
The Wise Package Studio installation also contains subdirectories that are specific to
Windows Installer Editor. For descriptions of those subdirectories, see Installation
Resources and Their Locations in the Windows Installer Editor Help.
Warning
Do not edit or delete the contents of the Wise Package Studio directories outside Wise
Package Studio or other Wise tools. Doing so will cause problems in Workbench,
Software Manager, and ConflictManager and can result in loss of data.
