Managing Plans

Vending Manager and Developer accounts are assigned to plans. The Catalog Manager uses plans to control content submission for developers and content access

for Vending Managers.describes the two types of plans used by the Catalog Manager.

TABLE 2-14	Plan Types
Plan Type	Description
Vending	Vending plans define content access rights. For example, if you have
	a Vending Manager branded to sell content to teenagers, you don’t
	want it stocking adult content. When creating a Vending plan you
	can define which categories a Vending Manager can access. Vending
	plans can also be nested within other Vending plans. Each Vending
	Manager account is associated with one or more Vending plans.
Developer	Developer plans define the set of APIs that developers can use in
	applications that they submit. Profiles define the classes in a specific
	library that developers can use. A Developer plan contains one or
	more profiles.

The following device management tasks are described in this section:

When an operation is performed (editing, deleting, adding, and so on), the Content Deliver Server puts a background job notification in the main menu bar. You can click on the notice to see details of jobs that were or are running. See “Getting Job Status” on page 126 for more information.

Managing Vending Plans

The Vending Manager handles the selling of content. Since a single Catalog Manager can serve multiple Vending Managers, you can potentially have many Vending plans. A Vending Manager can be assigned to more than one Vending plan, so ensure your Vending plans are limited enough to give you the control you need.
