Publishing a Package to a Relay

A package does not necessarily have to be made available to the whole network, it can just be needed and thus be published to a specific group of devices. To do so the package can be published to a relay. Be aware that packages cannot be published to relays installed on Window 95/98/ME operating systems, these cannot be used as Storage Relays . To publish a package to a relay , proceed as follows:

1. Select the package to be published to the relay in the left window pane.
2. Click Edit > Publish to Relay .
    The Select a Storage Relay pop-up menu displays displaying the list of all available relays.
3. Select the desired relay from one of the list boxes.
    The package will copied to the relay and added automatically to its Packages node with its existing name.

You can follow the status of the publication process in the Package Status line in the right window pane of the package. Be aware that the status Package successfully published to the direct parent. only indicates that the package has arrived at the parent of the current device and not yet at the target relay. The status ** indicates, that the package has arrived at the target relay and the master has received this information, thus the package is now available for general use.
