Application installation media packages

When using AIM packages, the SA Agent uses the following three step process:

1. Download the ZIP file to the managed server.

   The download location on the managed server is configurable by using the package_download_dir Custom Attribute.

2. Extract the ZIP file into a temporary directory.

   The directory used

3. Execute the install script.

The directory used in step 2 was not configurable however and the package was treated like a zip with a default extraction location (e.g. on linux: /usr/local/…). The newly added CA (aim_temp_path) allows for a configurable temporary extraction location. To have this functionality you must set the CA value before installing the AIM; e.g.:

1. Open a server in the SA client.
2. Go to Information.
3. Select Custom Attributes and add the value for aim_temp_path to a path that has enough space for the AIM extraction.
