General Information

The Packaging Module is used to map and standardize the organisational packaging process. In addition, it is possible to use operations to simplify Configuration Manager tasks like creating packages or applications. The Packaging Module is based on the functions of the CMDB Module: attributes, views and operations are configured just as in the CMDB Module. The settings for the automatic creation of packages in SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) and the creation of folder structures for the packaging process are described in the sections Sites, Programmes and Operating System Groups.
