About Policies : Managing packages
  
Managing packages
You create packages in the Manage > Services: Packages page to deploy Client Accelerator optimization settings to your Client Accelerator endpoints.
The controller comes with a default package, called Default, which contains endpoint settings from the default Initial policy. The default package is designed to be suitable for basic deployments.
After you create a package it can’t be edited. However, you can create and deploy new packages for software and configuration updates.
To move a user from one group to another, you must uninstall the Client Accelerator software on the endpoint and then install the package with the new group. A simple approach is to move users to new groups when you upgrade their Client Accelerator software to a higher version.
To create a package
1. Choose Manage > Services: Packages to display the Packages page.
2. Complete the configuration as described in this table.

Group—Specify the name of an existing group or specify a unique group name. Note these points:
• If you specify an existing group name, a new package with the specified name will be created under the existing group.
• If you specify a unique group name, the name can be three or more characters, and it can contain alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-z, A-Z), spaces, hyphens ( ‑ ), and underscores ( _ ).
For details on groups, see Managing assignments.
Comments—Specify a short comment to help you identify the package. This comment is displayed with the name of the package and the version number of the software contained in the package, on the Manage Packages page.
Install Directory—Specify the installation directory for the package.
Datastore Directory—Specify the Client Accelerator RiOS data store directory.
Use Endpoint Settings from Policy—Select a policy from the drop-down list.
Options (Windows only)
Show Installer UI—Select this option to display the Microsoft Windows Installer UI upon initial installation. The default value is enabled. To install the package silently (without the Microsoft Windows Installer UI), disable the Show Installer UI option.
The Microsoft Windows Installer is visible to the endpoint client if the Show Installer UI option is enabled. If so, the system prompts you to specify your Client Accelerator RiOS data store size and Client Accelerator configurations.
Place Icon on Desktop—Select this option to display the Microsoft Windows Installer icon on the desktop of the client machine. The default value is enabled.
Place Entry in Start Menu—Select this option to list the Microsoft Windows Installer in the Start menu of the client machine. The default value is enabled.
Restart if Reboot is Needed—Select this option to automatically restart the endpoint client after installing the Client Accelerator. Leave the option disabled if you want to prompt the end user to decide whether to restart endpoint. The default value is disabled (false).
Increment MaxNumFilters if Needed—Select this option to increment automatically to the maximum number of filter drivers in the Windows Vista or Windows 7 registry, if the maximum number of filters is already installed on the system.
Add—Adds a new package to the package list. Packages are displayed according to their assigned group. Each group has a list of associated packages belonging to that group.
Remove Selected Packages—To remove an entry, select the check box next to the name and click Remove Selected Packages.
3. Click Add to save your package.
