conclusion

Many customers do not package software in Software Distributor (SD-UX) format due to the

complexity of the process. Software Package Builder (SPB) is a new tool with a GUI and CLI that

can help simplify the process of creating a software package in Software Distributor (SD-UX)

format. SPB provides a visual method for creating the PSF, its software elements, attributes, and

structure, as well as automatically validating the PSF against packaging policy rules.

SPB allows novice or experienced developers and administrators to easily package software in SD-

UX format, making management of software with standard SD-UX tools more accessible.
