Scenario 2: Graphical deployment using CPQDPLOY.NLM

Graphical (NUT-based) installation using CPQDPLOY.NLM is done by omitting the -s and -nui parameters in CPQDPLOY.NLM. You can pass the name of the Support Pack XML file or component that you want installed. The deployment selection screen shows you the currently installed version of the software (if found), the version of the software selected for installation, and a description of the software. The following table lists the keystrokes that are available on the graphical screen.
