Hello,

I have several WAPT packages in my repository with a few test machines.
I want to deploy a package or a group of packages to all of my machines. Do I have to add the package to each machine manually, or is there a way to add a package to all machines, or at least a group of machines?

Installed WAPT version: 1.8.2
Server OS: Linux Debian 4.19
Administration/package creation machine OS: Windows 10

Thank you

Hello,

Perhaps by associating a package group (previously created, even empty) with each workstation (selecting all workstations and adding the package group as a dependency).

This way, packages can later be added to this group, which is common to all workstations, so that the packages are installed there.

The advantage is that over time, packages can be added or removed from the group without having to reassign subsequent packages directly to those workstations. The work will be done through the group.

Hello,
which version of WAPT do you have? Community or Enterprise?

Oops, I forgot to mention the version. We're on 1.8.2 community

Indeed, it seems to work via this method, even if it's not a very natural way of doing things because we select a group of packages and not a group of stations.

The function you are looking for (deployment on an OU) is, if I am not mistaken, reserved for the Enterprise version.

Yes, thank you!
The only possible method in the community version is therefore the package group method
