OpenText Configuration Management provides great flexibility in distributing software. You can distribute applications and individual files; simply make modifications to existing files on a device; install, remove, and roll back applications on your devices.
Software is distributed though the use of bundles. A bundle consists of all the files, configuration settings, installation instructions, and so forth required to deploy and manage the application or files on a device. When you assign a bundle to a device, you can install and launch it on the device according to the schedules (distribution, launch, and availability) that you define.
You can also view the summary of the assignment, distribution, install and launch status of the bundle, using the Bundle dashboard. For more information, see Endpoint Management Software Distribution Reference.
You can create the following bundle types:
