Creating an installation package of the migrated and merged KM

After you have migrated and merged your customizations, you must create an installation package that can be used with the installation utility to install locally on one computer or with Distribution Server to install remotely on multiple computers. To create an installation package, see the following steps:

1. Copy the entire contents of the PATROL for Microsoft SQL Server CD to a temporary directory on a hard drive on a server. You can delete this temporary directory after you have successfully created an installable image.
2. Navigate to the packaged_results directory for the merged package and open the .ppf file with a text editor. Write down the file name in the first line of the .ppf file. This file name is the name of the directory that you will look for in the Products directory of the CD image.

3. Rename the packaged_results directory with the file name that you found in the .ppffile in the previous step.

   Example

   If pksckm/4.2.00/030107-233044 was listed in the first line of the .ppf file, you would use pksckm as the directory name.

4. Copy the renamed directory to the Products directory of the temporary directory that you used in Step 1. You will be replacing the files there with the merged files that contain your customizations.
5. Copy the PATROL for Microsoft SQL Server CD image to the server where you plan to install PATROL for Microsoft SQL Server.
