All About Solutions

HP Web Jetadmin provides functionality to manage programs that can be installed on devices. Central to the process of solution management is a Solution Repository, which is a collection of programs that can be installed on managed devices. Three different types of programs can be contained within the repository:

●Chailets

●.NET Framework solutions

●Solutions

For simplicity, these program types will simply be referred to as Solutions.

Solutions are imported into the Solution Repository. Then they can be installed on a device or a group of devices. Solutions within the repository may have their properties edited or, if they are no longer needed, solutions can be removed from the repository.

On device lists, a Solutions Tab is provided to allow you to manage solutions that are installed on a device. You can quickly see which solutions are installed on a device and then take action to either install new solutions or remove solutions that are no longer needed.

Solutions within the repository may be combined together to create Solution Templates. These templates may be applied to a device or a group of devices to install one or more solutions. Functionality is provided to manage templates that have been created. Templates may be edited, copied, or removed. Applying a template means that the solutions identified within the template are installed on the device or group of devices.

Templates may also be applied as part of a Group Policy. A Group Policy is an action that is performed when a device is added to a group or removed from a group. Group policies can also be used to create workflows that define multiple actions needed to be performed on a group of devices that meet specific criteria.
