About Installing Packages Published by Another Server
This section describes the tasks the subscribing server performs when participating in package replication as the subscribing server.
Subscribers can retrieve packages manually or automatically. To retrieve a package manually, an administrator on the subscribing server views a list of available subscriptions and retrieves the desired package. When automatic pull is in effect, the subscribing server automatically pulls a package from the publisher when a new release becomes available.
For a package to be retrieved automatically, the subscriber must specify the automatic pull feature when setting up the subscription. When a new release becomes available, the publishing server sends a service-invocation e-mail to a designated e-mail server. The service-invocation e-mail contains a call to a service that runs on the subscribing server to retrieve packages. The subscribing server periodically checks the e-mail server through an e-mail port on the subscribing server. When it receives and processes the service-invocation e-mail, the subscribing server automatically pulls the package from the publisher and places it in the Inbound directory. The administrator on the subscribing server can then install the package.
