Duplicate ZIP packages

The Software Management feature allows you to install multiple instances of an application on a single server by using ZIP packages in a software policy. (In SA, these ZIP packages are sometimes referred to as “relocatable Zip.”) You can install the same ZIP package with different installation paths in multiple locations on a single server. SA supports installation of ZIP packages on both Unix and Windows operating systems. If the ZIP package was created with the IDK, then you cannot install the ZIP package into multiple locations on a single server.

To create ZIP packages with different installation paths:

  1. From the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Software Policies.
  2. From the content pane, select the policy containing the ZIP package and open it. The policy window appears.
  3. From the Views pane, select Policy Items.
  4. From the content pane, select the ZIP package.
  5. From the Actions menu, select Duplicate Zip Package. The Duplicate ZIP Package window appears.

  6. In the Install Path field, enter the path where you will install the ZIP file. If you do not enter a path, the default directory for the Windows ZIP package is:

    %SystemDrive%\Program Files\[basename of zip file]

    The default directory for Unix ZIP is:
    /usr/local/[basename of zip file]
  7. Click OK to install the ZIP file.
