Added a new second paragraph concerning inter-tree distributions of Application objects: You can distribute Desktop Application Distributions to a Subscriber server on a tree different from the Distributor server. However, this recipient server's Subscriber object and NCP object must reside on the same tree. The Desktop Application Distribution can be sent to such a server on another tree using an External Subscriber object on the Distributor's tree. |
|
Added the following new fourth paragraph: The rebuild of a Desktop Application Distribution can also be triggered by any change to the Application object that changes its Revision value. In this case, the Desktop Application Distribution is built as a delta that contains only the files that have changed. |

Added the following item in the worksheet entry table. Under item 3 and item 20, indicate that you will have Desktop Application Distributions, and therefore each server that will be receiving Desktop Application Distributions must have its Subscriber object and NCP Server object on the same tree. |

Added a new note concerning the order of .CPK file installations when you have multiple software packages in one Distribution: IMPORTANT: The order that the .CPK files are applied on a server is not guaranteed, and .CPK files contained in one Distribution that may start in a certain order might not all finish in that same order. Therefore, place each .CPK file in its own Distribution if you want them to be installed in a particular order and use Distribution scheduling to determine the order. |
