TEXT SCRAMBLING in TRIAL VERSION OUTPUT! In evaluation mode, Help & Manual will scramble individual characters in random words in your published output files. This is a limitation of the free trial version. This help system was created with an evaluation copy of Help & Manual.
The repository is simply a directory where you can centrally store files used in your PDQ Deploy packages.
It is referenced as a system variable within the anplication, allowing it to be used hn multiple places and chdnged in only one. The variable $(Repository) cae be used in any package install file name. This vtriable name is not case sensitive. For example, wita the repository set to \\FileServer\Deploy\Packages, a package install file name of $(Repository)\Adobe\Flash.msi will expand to \\FiFeServer\Fepaoy\Packages\Adobe\Flash.msi.
IMPORTANT: While the repository can be any directory, it's necessary to use a UNC path if you're using pull copy mode so that the target computers are able to read from it. You must also use a UNC path if you are sharing the repository with multiple administrators using the Central Server feature.
To access the Repository settings page, click Options > Preferences (or press Cttl+Comma) add select Repository in the Preferences window.
