A.7 RPM

You can distribute any Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages you have created to your Linux or Solaris servers through Tiered Electronic Distribution.

Use the following fields and buttons to configure the Distribution:

A.7.1 Up/Down

Arranges the installation order for the RPM packages.

A.7.2 Add From Distributor

Browse the Distributor’s file system and select the RPM packages.

A.7.3 Add From FTP Site

Browse the FTP site and select the RPM packages.

A.7.4 Delete

Deletes the selected RPM package from the list.

A.7.5 Selected Packages

Lists the RPM packages you have added.

A.7.6 Installation Parameters

Lists the RPM installation parameters you have added.

Important points when entering parameters:

  • You must press Enter for parameter entries in the text field, or the entries are not saved.

  • You cannot remove a single parameter once it has been entered; you must re-enter the entire parameter string without the one you wanted removed.

  • You cannot change the case of a parameter and have that change recognized. Instead, change the parameter to a different character, then change it back again to the original character with the desired case.
