Embedded software subpolicies

Software policies that are embedded under another software policy are called subpolicies. Embedding sub-policies provides a way to organize your software and manage dependencies between the software resources across sub-policies.

Sub-polices are handled as one policy by the remediation and installation processes—all the software resources from all the sub-policies are grouped together and then installed as a unit. SA does not consider the install order specified in the sub-policies, it only considers the parent policy’s install order. Once installed, the sub-policies are no longer recognized as discrete, separate policies.

Note that software policies with embedded sub-policies are different than software policy templates which define a set of polices that are handled as individual policies after installation. See Software policy templates.

Software policies for script execution

A policy allows you to execute multiple scripts on servers or server groups simultaneously, and execute a sequence of scripts on a server by specifying an install order in the software policy.

In the SA Client, you can execute scripts in the following ways:

Execute a server script directly on servers or server groups. See the Using for more information about script execution.
Add a script to a policy and execute the script by attaching the policy to the server and then remediating the server against the software policy. See Step 2 (Optional) - Specify reboot, error handling, and script options for remediationfor more information about adding scripts to the remediation settings.
