Setting up class memberships and dependencies

You can assign classes to a package, and set up dependencies that define the package's relationship to other packages and classes. Each package may belong to one or more classes, and may depend on any number of classes.

When a class is named as a dependency, any package in the class satisfies the dependency for that class. There are two types of dependencies:

Every line in the Dependencies list must be satisfied on a managed Pocket PC for the package to be assignable to it. If a line contains two or more classes, any class in the line satisfies the dependency.

When a package is assigned to a managed Pocket PC, the Symantec LiveState Delivery Command Center identifies any unsatisfied dependencies on the Pocket PC and prompts the Site Administrator to take appropriate action.

The LiveState Package Classification window shows the class memberships and dependencies that are currently set up for the package. You can set or change the class memberships and dependencies for the package as required.

To set up class memberships and dependencies

1.

In the Class names for this package pane, type the name of each class to which the package belongs.

Type each class name on a new line. Class names may contain a maximum of 20 characters.

2.

In the Dependencies (Class Name Refs) pane, type the names of the classes on which the package depends.

Specify each dependency or exclusion on a new line. Exclusions are indicated by an exclamation mark ("!") at the start of the line. You can specify two or more classes in a line by separating the class names with a "|" symbol. These are treated as alternatives, and any class in the line satisfies the dependency or exclusion.
