2 The OS/2 Warp 4 CID Software Distribution Guide
Chapter 1. Software Distribution Made Simple As the number of LAN-attached workstations in your company continues to grow, so do the resources required to install and maintain software on those workstations. There is quite an easy way to handle remote software installation and keep costs down! It is called CID, which stands for Configuration, Installation and Distribution. The CID architecture’s primary goals are to: • Simplify the installation of software on pristine OS/2 workstations • Reduce the time required to perform software installations • Centralize the configuration and remote installation of software • Reduce software installation costs • Eliminate human intervention at the target workstation when preparing and executing the configuration, installation, migration, and maintenance processes that are necessary to operate the workstation and maintain the software on it • Enable the code executed at the target workstation to perform all required configuration and installation tasks, including the integration of previous customization • Centralize human intervention at a central preparation site Software that is capable of being distributed and configured through the LAN is called CID-enabled. CID-enabled products can be configured and installed remotely on LAN-attached clients with limited or no interaction required locally at each client. Although powerful in concept, implementing the processes involved with the CID architecture can be quite complex. In order to evaluate this software distribution and installation process, a brief explanation of the characteristics of the two most common software installation methods is provided below. 1.1 Standard Installation Method The most common method of installing workstation software is to install from diskettes or a CD-ROM. This method includes the following critical factors: • Human intervention is required to customize the product by passing configuration information to the installation program through its dialog interface. This process must be performed by a person who is familiar with © Copyright <strong>IBM</strong> Corp. 1998 3
