About Automatically Importing Packages from a Network Directory
In AdminStudio Application Manager, you can use the
Network Directory
option of
Package Auto Import
to
monitor a directory location on a network (or a local directory) and automatically import or re-import packages in
that directory at scheduled intervals.
You can use this
Network Directory
option in combination with the
Directory Monitoring
Job Step to establish
a consistent, repeatable process in which a directory and, optionally, its subdirectories are monitored for any new
or modified Windows Installer package files. If changes are detected, those new or modified files can then be either
imported or reimported into the Application Catalog.
