The Select Installable Source dialog box provides options for accessing the installable file. Use the hierarchical tree to browse to the location where the installable file is saved and select the file. Alternatively, you can manually enter the path to the installable file by using the Source Location field. The file paths can include parameters. You can enter parameters manually or click Select Property
, see Inserting-a-parameter for more information.
Depending on how you want to access the installable file, select either of the following option buttons:

|---|
Upload source to File Server | Select this option if you want to copy the installable file to the file server. When you select this option, you cannot edit the contents of the Source Location field. |
Refer to source at its current location | Select this option if you want the installable file to reside at network location until deployment. When you select this option, you cannot use the hierarchical tree to select the source files. Under Refer to source at its current location, select one of the following options: - Copy to Agent at staging — The Application Server copies the installable file to a staging directory on the agent during the staging phase of a Deploy Job.
To use this option, the Source Location field must provide a URL that complies with TrueSight Server Automation requirements for network data transmission, including a data transmission protocol of RSCD, NFS, or SMB. For details about the required syntax, see URL-syntax-for-network-data-transmission. Agent mounts source for direct use at deployment (no local copy) — The Deploy Job instructs an agent to mount or map the device specified in the URL and deploy the software package directly to the agent. When you select this option, the agent uses the data transmission protocol specified in the URL to access the specified source files. The installable file is not copied to a staging area on the agent, so no local copy of the source file is created.
To use this option, the Source Location field must provide a URL that complies with TrueSight Server Automation requirements for network data transmission, including a data transmission protocol: either NFS or SMB. For details information about the required syntax, see URL-syntax-for-network-data-transmission. WarningNote (Only for Windows 2012 targets) Before you enable the Agent mounts source for direct use at deployment (no local copy) option, you need to add the mounted device in the security zone of the target. This can be done by making the following changes to the registry of the target. - Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscRanges\, create a key with the name Range1. If key Range1 already exists, create a key with the next available number (for example Range2, Range3, Range4 and so on).
Create the following values under the Range1 key:
