The Package Creation and Distribution flowchart illustrates the processing that occurs when an administrator creates a package for software distribution. This processing includes creating required files (including compressed source files, if compression is specified in the package definition), and placing them in the appropriate directories on the site server, distribution points, and CAPs.
If the package is targeted to a child site, Package Creation and Distribution also includes additional tasks. These include replicating the package files to the child site, decompressing them, and copying them to the appropriate locations on the child site.
The activity illustrated in this flowchart takes place on the site servers at the originating site and the child site.
