Select the autopact properties and there should be a spot for you to run programs before, after and for commit. For file packages under platform specfic options we name a batch or exe file to run before( check for space) after confirm all received and commit to place the software in production. The batch file source host is where tivoli should find the file. We have installed IE 5 in this fashion. This allow us to send the software out 3 nights in a row and commit all of them on the last night.<br> <p> Tony ... aka chgwhat<br><a href=mailto:tony_b@technologist.com>tony_b@technologist.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>When in doubt,,, Power out...

Yaw.. thankx for the help ...<br>Autopack is working now.. The problem was like this...<br>Whenever i send an autopack with application in it.. it used to get installed but was never able to get executed... The problem was the link on the client desktop.. If same i go to the particular directory and execute.. it'll do so..<br>It's a strange but it's working.....<br>One more thing i want to know is in File PAck... how to do Unattented installation at Endpoints.. DO we have write a script?..<br>thankx<br><br>sanjeev

You have to write the script or some software provides a silent install option. This is where you set all the defaults and then run the install.<br><br>Good.
