Contents of the Download Package

The download package includes this Readme, a management guide, Help for Knowledge Scripts, and several files that are used during installation:

AM70-OracleUNIX-7.8.57.0.msi, the program you use to install the module to the AppManager repository (QDB) and AppManager console computers.
AM70-OracleUNIX-7.8.57.0.ini, a configuration file used with the AppManager setup program.
AM70-OracleUNIX-7.8.57.0.xml, a configuration file used for deploying the module with Control Center. This is the file you check into the Control Center Web Depot.
AM70-OracleUNIX-7.8.57.0-RepositoryFiles.exe, a compressed file that contains the QDB and console files. You do not need to run this file during installation.

When you download the module, these files are copied by default to the local folder on the download computer. Consider copying these files to the \windows_installation\setup\Setup Files folder on the same distribution computer on which you saved your main AppManager software and documentation. By doing so, you maintain all AppManager software in one location that is easily accessible when you want to add more repositories, management servers, or agents.
