Adobe 65019371 Deployment Guide - Page 27

Specifying Packages Filling Out the Specification Worksheet WARNING FOR THE NEXT THREE FIELDS: These fields are important for the following reasons:  The person who creates the packages needs this information when running the CS4 deployment toolkit.  Application and component names are stored in the package in an encoded format, so you cannot look at the package files and determine which applications or optional components it installs or uninstalls. The worksheet is the only place where you can preserve that information. PRIMARY APPLICATIONS Under this heading, list all the primary CS4 applications you listed on your package list for this package. If you are packaging a point product, there will be just one thing on your list. If you are packaging a suite product, you may have multiple applications on your list. OPTIONAL SHARED COMPONENTS List the optional shared components you want to include in this package, if any, in this field of the worksheet. The table on page 31 shows which shared components are optional for each primary application. Consult this table and decide if you want to include any of these optional choices in this package. Each shared component is described briefly in the table on page 30 . There is no need to list components that are required for any of the applications you are including; the toolkit will select them for you automatically. OPTIONAL SUPPORTING COMPONENTS List the optional supporting components you want to include in this package, if any, in this field of the worksheet. This list will be short, as most of the supporting components are either required or not available for a given application. The table on page 35 shows which supporting components are optional for each primary application. Consult this table and decide if you want to include any of these optional choices in this package. Each supporting component is described briefly in the table on page 32 . There is no need to list components that are required for any of the applications you are including; the toolkit will select them for you automatically. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS You should check the system requirements for the applications you chose to include in this package. If you attempt to deploy a package on a target machine that does not have sufficient system capability for the applications to be installed, the install will fail. If you plan to install multiple applications on a system, as part of one or more packages, the greatest of their minimum system requirements will apply. If your users plan to run multiple applications at the same time, more system RAM is recommended, but is not required at install time. For system requirements for individual point products, go to http://www.adobe.com/products/. Half way down the left side of this page there is a pull-down menu that lists all the products. Select the product you want and click Go. On the product-specific page that comes up, click System Requirements in the upper right area of the page. For system requirements for suite products, see http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb406240 Document Version 1.0 Sep 2009 27
