How to Attach a Readme to a Discovery Package

This task describes how to attach an updated or new Readme file to a discovery package.

  1. Prerequisite

    To attach a Readme file to a discovery package, the package's .zip file must be located somewhere on your local file system.

    If you are updating the Readme file of a discovery package that is already deployed on your UCMDB server, you must export the package's .zip file to your local file system before attaching the updated file. For details on exporting packages, see How to Export a Package.

  2. Add the Readme file to the discovery package's .zip file

    • Create or update the Readme file, and save it with the name, Readme.txt.
    • Copy the Readme.txt file into the root of the package's .zip file.

  3. Deploy the package on the UCMDB server

    Navigate to Administration > Package Manager, and click the Deploy packages to server button to deploy the .zip file containing the Readme. For details, see How to Deploy a Package.
