What Is a Service Location Policy Package?

A Service Location Policy Package contains a set of policies only associated with containers. These policies are expected to identify the location of resources other ZENworks for Desktops 4 agents, throughout the network, need. These resources are associated through the container to all agents working on behalf of the objects in the container or sub-container.

For example, if you have set up a Service Location Policy Package associated with container A, and activated a database location policy specifying the database is located on server A, all of the workstation agents on the PCs whose workstation objects are located in or below container A, look in the tree and walk up the tree to find the Service Location Policy Package associated with container A.

In this policy, they would find the database where they should store their events or inventory information located on server A, because the database location policy in the Service Location Policy Package would be active. The agents would then contact the database on server A and send it their information.
