Publishing delta packages

  1. Go to Start > All Programs > HP Client Automation Administrator > HP Client Automation Administrator Publisher. The Logon screen opens.
  2. Type your HPCA Administrator user ID and Password (by default, admin and secret).
  3. In the Publishing Options windows select OS Add-ons/extra POS drivers from the drop-down list.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Use the Select Drivers Directory window, specify the following:
    1. In the directory tree, select the C:\MyDrivers directory.

      Everything below this directory will be recursively scanned, included, and published.

    2. From the Add-on type drop-down list, select OS Driver file.
    3. From the Select Target Service drop down list, select the OS service to which you want to add these drivers or add-ons.
    4. In the optional Suffix text box, you can type a number that can be used to track packages. For example, if the instance is called VISTA_PDD and you type 0 in this text box, then the new ADDON instance name will be VISTA_PDD_0.

      In the ADDON Instance Name text box, the instance name will be pre-populated based on the OS service name you selected. It is recommended that you leave this as is.

      It is recommended that you leave this name as is. If you modify this name, there will be no connection between the OS service and the ADDON instance unless you create the connection yourself.

  6. Click Next.
  7. Review the summary screen and click Publish.

You can use the CSDB Editor to review the new ADDON instance in PRIMARY.OS.ADDON. The next time the operating system service is deployed, the delta packages will automatically be deployed with it.

When this operating system service is deployed to a target device, the OS drivers are stored in the C:\OSMGR.HLP\Drivers directory on the target device.
