ABSTRACT:
Committing an installation plan object for installing applications in a network. The installation plan object includes an application-in-plan object which represents an application program and a group-in-plan object which represents a group of workstations on which the application program is to be installed. As part of the commit process, the installation plan object is prevalidated by examining its child objects and adding additional child objects to the installation plan object if required, validated by examining data in the installation plan object and its child objects for errors in the data and transformed into data structures usable for a network installation engine which installs applications across a network. The installation plan further includes a response file object if the application's installation requires a response file and a customization file object which contains data to customize the response file object data for particular workstations.
