6.1.4 Package File

Package files are one or more files that have been compressed into a ZIP file. Package files are used to associate software setup scripts with software setup information and parameter information. Package files are transferred to a L-Server and then decompressed on the L-Server.

Package files registered in software setup information are called script packages. Package files registered in parameter information are called parameter packages. The software setup scripts included in each individual package file are different, as explained below.

Script packages
Include start up scripts and file attachments of software setup script in script packages.
Parameter packages
Include file attachments of software setup scripts in parameter packages.

Software setup script execution examples

Script packages and parameter packages are transferred to a virtual server and then decompressed on the virtual server. Environment variable setup scripts generated by this product are also transferred to a virtual server. These software setup scripts are stored in a work directory on the virtual server according to the following structure. The directory in which the start up script is stored is regarded as the current directory and the start up script is executed.

<Work directory>
+ <Software ID>
  + scriptpkg
    + Start up script (startup.cmd, startup.sh)
    + Environment variable setup script(setenv.cmd,setenv.sh)
    + Script package file attachments
 + parampkg
    + Paramter package file attachments

The directories are explained below.

Software ID directory
Create an independent directory for each software package. The name of this directory becomes the software ID.
scriptpkg directory
The start up script and file attachments that decompressed the script package are stored in the Scriptpkg directory. The environment variable setup script is also stored in this directory.
parampkg directory
The file attachment that decompressed the parameter package is stored in the Parampkg directory. Ensure that the file attachment is referenced using a relative path when parameter package file attachments are used from the start up script.

Note

Package files
- Storage location of start up scripts
  Store start up scripts in a ZIP file route not under a directory.
  If a start up script is stored under a directory that script cannot be executed.
- File names
  Please specify file names in ASCII characters.
- Files deleted
  Files transferred to a L-Server are deleted after the script has executed.
