• What operating system(s) support the product.
Each of the software element classes has its own set of attributes, and
each attribute has a value that defines it. Most attributes are optional;
however, there are a few required attributes. Assigning valid attributes
to software elements provides more control and precision when the
software package is installed, updated, and removed. The table below
provides a list of attributes that are required for a valid PSF.
Additional attributes are recommended for creating a more detailed
software package. If you use one of the software elements listed in
Table 2-3, it is highly recommended to set the following attributes:
