About This Item

 

Full Description

Scope

Provide utility program interfaces, service interfaces, managed object definitions, and a standard software packaging layout. Interfaces allow administrators to maintain software products. The managed-object classes provide a common base for the definition and implementation of software administration applications, especially in a distributed environment. The base document for the work is a specification from HP, with reference material drawn from DEC, USL, SNI, ICL, IBM, and SCO.

Purpose

Software Administration is concerned with the maintenance of software on distributed systems. This maintenance includes, but is not limited to, the creation of distribution media, the loading and installation of software, subsequent verification and listing of installed siftware and possible eventual removal of that software from systems.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. This standard is part of the POSIX series of standards for applications and user interfaces to open systems. It defines a software packaging layout, a set of information maintained about software, and a set of utility programs to manipulate that software and information.
