policies. The SPB command line interface (CLI) can also perform validation of software
package attributes against policies and supports automated edits to the software
package specification.
Currently, most customers do not choose to package software in SD format due to its
complexity. SPB should significantly reduce your learning curve and time required to
package software. By packaging software in SD format, you gain the ability to easily tell
what software is installed on the system, making software management easier.
IMPORTANT Java Swing behavior may cause navigational inconsistencies when running SPB through
an emulator. If your mouse click behavior setting is too slow, it can prevent SPB from
buffering all mouse clicks. This could potentially lead to data loss. The SPB product
release notes contain a detailed procedure for correcting this performance issue. It is
highly recommended that you complete the procedure prior to using SPB.
For this and other troubleshooting topics, refer to the SPB Help system.
