Installation Packages

This panel enables you to manage installation packages (IPs) by uploading IPs to a repository in GAX and deploying the IPs to hosts.

The Installation Packages panel on the left of the screen displays a list of IPs that you have permission to see in your environment. The list is sorted by groups. You can expand a group to see its list of IPs.

Important

Installation packages are stored in the database and not on the local file system.

Tenancy Permission Settings

Solution Deployment respects tenancy permission settings. You can access only those objects that you have been granted permission to access.

You can filter the contents of this list in two ways:

• Type the name or partial name of an object in the Quick Filter field.
• Click the Tenant Filter button to open the Tenant filter panel. In this panel, click the checkbox(es) beside the tenants that you want to select. Use the Quick Filter field in this panel to filter the tenant list.

You can sort the items in the list by clicking a column head. Clicking a column head a second time reverses the sort order.
