Editing a software package

This topic describes how to edit an existing software package in IBM Director.

You can edit an existing software package by double-clicking the package. The applicable package editor for the package starts.

When you attempt to open a package, you might receive a message indicating that the package is locked by another process. This means that another user is editing the package, it is being copied to a file-distribution server, or it is in the process of being distributed to one or more managed systems. The package remains locked until the other process is completed. However, it is possible for a package to remain locked when no process or user is using it. For example, if a system was turned off while a package was being edited, the package will remain locked for 5 to 10 minutes.
