Administering Object Contexts

The Aptify Object Repository contains several sub-groupings of objects. Each of these subgroupings is an object context and represents a logical grouping of software components that are associated with specific users. Each Aptify user account is linked to one object context using the User Administration wizard. By supporting multiple object contexts, it is possible to tightly control the software distributed to each user.

Object contexts may be part of a hierarchy of contexts. If an object context has a parent context, the user's context is determined by first searching for packages and objects underneath the object context to which they are assigned, and next searching for packages and objects underneath the parent context if they are not found underneath the immediate context.

This topic contains the following sub-topics:

• Creating a New Object Context
• Setting the Default Object Context
