Rule Type

The Rule Type of this ACE is displayed (read only).

•

Custom - Source Only Packages ACEs allow you to quickly test any column or any value of a table. For example, you could use a user-defined ACE to identify packages that create a desktop icon. To define a user-defined ACE, you use an SQL “Where” clause.

•

Custom - Source and Target Packages ACEs allow you to compare columns or values of Source package tables (new packages that you want to install onto a user’s system) to columns or values of Target package tables (packages already installed on a user’s system). For example, you could use a Source and Target Packages ACE to determine if the installation of a Source package onto a Target system would produce duplicate registry entries. To define a Source and Target Packages ACE, you must define an SQL “Where” clause, and specify a Join Column (a table column in the Application Catalog database that has a matching value for both the Source and Target packages).

•

DLL - User Provided DLL based ACEs allow you to run more complex tests—testing many tables in any combination. For example, you could use a DLL-Based ACE to confirm that a source product language is the same as all target product languages. To define a DLL-Based ACE, you use SQL and other programming commands. With DLL-Based ACEs, you can use a Conflict Application Resolution Definitions (CARDs) to fix the conflict.
