Creating and Using a Bundle

		Creating and Using a Bundle
		A bundle is a reference to filesets, products, and/or subproducts. Bundles
		may reference collections of filesets that belong to several different
		products. Creating bundles consisting of multiple filesets allows you to
		treat several filesets as a single entity. By specifying a bundle, all filesets
		under the bundle are included in an operation. It is important to
		remember that bundles only reference filesets, subproducts, and/or
		products and do not physically contain these software elements.

NOTE		Generally, performing a single operation on a bundle is the same as
		performing it individually on all the filesets listed in the bundle.
