Creating and selecting a project
A project comprises the actions that are required to install and configure one or more products. You can create, select, and perform various activities on a project using the commands provided on the Manage Projects panel.
Projects are automatically saved at the following points:
- When you make a change to the project and exit the project.
- Before generating the installation JCL.
- Before generating the configuration JCL.
- After selecting a configuration option on the Configure Products or Components panel but not making any changes to the project and exiting the project.
| For more information, view the Quick Course Installation System - Installation Projects. Note: You must already be logged into BMC Support Central or you will receive a Page Not Found error. For a list of Quick Courses about the Installation System, see PDFs-and-videos. |
