Importing Solution Packs

Solution Packs are available from several sources. They can be downloaded from the Sentinel product page (an additional license might be needed). Solution Pack can also be provided by one of Novell’s partners, or they can be created from content in your own Sentinel system.

The first step in using a Solution Pack is to import the .zip file into the system by using the Import Plugin Wizard. When a Solution Pack is imported, the .zip file is copied to the server where the DAS (Data Access Service) components are installed. The actual contents of the Solution Pack are not available in the target Sentinel system until the controls are installed through the Solution Manager.

If you import an updated version of a Solution Pack, you are prompted to replace the existing plug-in.
