You define which applications belong to a software suite
by using the Software Suite Setup application. Rules for creating
software suite records govern how you add components and specify the
version numbers.
When you create a software suite record, you specify a suite name
and the component applications. Optionally, you can specify a suite
version.
The following rules apply to software suite records:
- A software suite must have at least one component application.
- A software application name can exist as a suite component only
once within a specific suite. However, the same application name can
exist in multiple software suites.
- You cannot add an application as a component to a software suite
record unless a record for the software exists in the Software Catalog
application. You can define software variants in the Software Catalog
application.
- When you define a software suite, you can optionally specify a
version number for the suite. If you specify a version number, you
must specify both a high and low version parameter for each application
in the suite.
