View package contents

To view the contents of a package:

1. From the navigation pane, perform one of the following tasks:
   1. Select Library > By Type > Packages. The packages organized by operating system appear in the content pane.
   2. Select Library > By Folder and select the folder which contains the package.
2. From the content pane, select a package to view.
3. From the Actions menu, select Open. The Package window appears.
4. From the Views pane, select Contents. The package contents appears in the content pane.
5. From the content pane, select Files to display the list of files that will be installed by the package.
6. From the content pane, select Scripts to display the list of scripts that will be executed by the package. The Scripts tab is only available for package types that support embedded scripts. For example, the Scripts tab is not available for ZIP packages.

The package contents are only available for ZIP, RPM and DEB packages.

For Solaris packages, HPUX Depot, and AIX LPP, the package names of the children packages are displayed.

For DEB packages with a data file (data.tar) compressed with xz (data.tar.xz) or lzma (data.tar.lzma), the package contents are only available if the tar archiving utility available on the SA Core server supports these compression methods. If the tar archiving utility available on the SA Core server does not support compression methods that are compatible with DEB packages, attempting to retrieve the package contents for the DEB packages will result in an error. See Ubuntu packages in the Package type reference for more details on DEB packages.
