Name

(Required) Program name.

Description

(Optional) Program description.

Command line

(Required) Command-line entry to run the program, including switches and parameters if applicable. The command-line entry must be in the same location as the package or along the same path as the package.

Working directory

(Optional) Directory where files needed by the program are temporarily stored during deployment.

Success codes

(Optional) Enter the success codes for the program. Success codes are determined by the exit code that is returned when an application ends. Applications can define their own exit codes for success and failures, but typically a zero value is used for success and a non-zero value for failure. Multiple values can also be specified with a comma delimiter. Example: 0,3000 could be entered as success values.

Failure codes

(Optional) Enter the failure codes for the program. Failure codes are determined by the exit code that is returned when an application ends. Applications can define their own exit codes for success and failures, but typically a zero value is used for success and a non-zero value for failure.

Estimated disk space

Multiple values can also be specified with a comma delimiter. Example: 1,5000 could be entered as failure values. (Optional) Estimated disk space is an information field required by the installed program. It is used by the Application Control Agent to ensure at least one physical drive with the amount specified is available before executing the program.

Estimated run time

(Optional) Estimated time in minutes required to complete the deployment. This is only an information field.

Terminate after

Terminates running of the program after the specified number of minutes. If this is set to 0 or left blank, the program will automatically terminate after 360 minutes.

After running

(Optional) Specifies the action to take after running the program.The options are No action required, Restart computer, and Log off user.Starting Window Specifies the status of the program window when the program is run. The options are Normal, Hidden, Minimized, and Maximized.

Run with rights

Specifies whether the program is run with the System Account, Logged in User, or Specified User account. If you select the Specified User, you must specify the user domain in the field below this one.

Program can run

Specifies the conditions in which the program can run. The options are Only when a user is logged on, Whether or not a user is logged on, and Only when no user is logged on. If you select Only when a user is logged on, you can select UserInput required if you want to allow user input. The User Input required option is only valid when a user is logged on. This option is available if the program run on a computer brings up a user interface that may require user input to complete its process. Usually, it is safe to keep this option selected, which is why it is selected by default.

Minimum connection speed

Select the minimum connection speed for Software Delivery programs to be executed. Before the program is run, the connection speed from the Application Control Agent to the Notification Server is tested. If the connection speed is below the selected speed, the program will not be run. The default is no network connection required. This means there is no default minimum connection speed for Software Delivery programs to run. If a _ kByte/sec speed is chosen, before the Application Control Agent executes a Software Delivery program, it checks the connection speed between the Application Control Agent and the Notification Server. If the connection speed is faster than this speed, then the program gets executed. This only applies to program execution, not package download. The package must already be downloaded.
